I’ve been using Linux for almost 30 years and I still don’t use it as my desktop. There are just too many little things that don’t work or are a hassle day to day. It’s great for messing around but unless you’re spending all of your time in a web browser or a command line, it’s just not worth it when I have real work to do. It’s been about 5 years since I tried a desktop version so maybe it warrants another look. But, I doubt it. Desktop is just not a priority for open source.
On the other hand, when it comes to servers Linux is always my number 1 choice. I run several relatively high demand services with up times measured in months and sometimes years.

Whereas I’m here typing from my daily driver oneplus 6 running arch 😁
Don’t believe in installing kernel updates, eh? And even userland updates are easier if you’re free to reboot afterwards.
If it’s not broken or connected to the Internet, don’t fix it.
