I read the linked post and it got me thinking of a lot of the posts I typically see around Linux. Most of them that are seeking support are very distro focussed; what is the best distro for this, what distro should I choose, etc.
The post I have linked shifts the focus to a clear use case putting the distro element in the background. I found this more useful, as I think, for the most part, the ‘right distro’ is subjective. What works for one person may not be right for another based on so many factors.
So, I wondered if anyone has any really interesting use cases around Linux. Especially those that can debunk the idea that you cannot do this, that and the other on Linux. Anyone using an audio production setup, has a video development suite or runs visual graphic design from Linux or, do you just have the gaming rig nailed down!
Nowadays there are (less than $20) single board computers able to “run Linux” and decode 1080p videos like its nothing, so a perfect, plausible answer for your thread is simply “Why not a PC with Linux and another PC for Windows?”. Even if GNU/Linux is decent enough for gaming/working needs nowadays.
Then again, you might be arguing like distros have specific use cases – which is a straight up fallacy. Every distro is GNU/Linux at heart. Theres no such thing as “more useful” since you can simply remove packages/commands you don’t find pleasing/“useful” and add/compile another ones yourself.
