Dead or alive
Ubuntu, after the third consecutive release that broke previously working hardware. That was a while ago and I haven’t tried it recently, but given snap I’m not really inclined to.
I am happy to help you with your experiment, toxic though it is.

I find when I get frustrated with something on Linux, I go try to do it on Windows. And then I go do it on Linux.
I hear you. I hate Photoshop, glory to Photoshop and all that. You can download a Windows 10 iso for free. Fire it up in Boxes or whatever VM software you have and enjoy unadulterated Photoshop. Sure, you’re running a whole bloated OS and emulating hardware for just one app, but disk space is cheap, and you can disconnect the virtual nic if you don’t want it online.
Definitely Chrono Trigger for me. I’ve seen most of the endings. One day I will see them all!
Also, portal 1 and 2, tf2 and l4d2.
The original Mario Kart. I could play any course with Donkey Kong without taking my finger off the accelerator – I was a power sliding king.
I could actually see myself paying for the $25/mo option and leveraging that into a “free” alt-google that slurps up all your data for me to monitize however I can. Be sure to keep an eye out for it! :D
Linux was kinda sketchy on the hardware I had available so my first experience was installing NetBSD on an '040 Mac with a stack of floppy disks. I was able to get WindowMaker running at 16bits, 640x480. I was pretty slick, with my ‘transparent’ eterm.
Linux doesn’t try to sell my elderly mother a subscription to onedrive
Came to find Blender. It’s amazing what that project achieves.
Just 7 decades til world domination!
I one heard ast describe Linux’s code quality as ‘marginal’ (presumably speaking of the kernel)
Of course, it was ast talking at BSDCan but still, harsh words from a master.
