I like how everyone keeps saying that this is linux's year and it will wipe out windows and all that crap.
Nope not a flipping chance.
The problem with linix is that, take away the desktop manager and your left in CLI land on nightmare. Have had to have countless times typing in massive command line lumps of text to tell it to do stuff you should just point and click on.
Then there is the versions problem.... ok this exists in windows world as well but no where near as bad as you can have in Linux land.
One day my GUI for pihole stopped working right, good god what a bloody nightmare finding that some module in some crappy piece of code used by something completely different was not the correct version or something the other.. Happens to me all the time when i am playing around with Linux boxes. "Warning this code will need kernel version bla dee bloody bla. and this xxxx version of xxxx and bla bla"
Linux will never ever take windows down, not when even seasoned IT professionals struggle to make it work sometimes. Yes i have to drop to the cli for some stuff with windows but generally its not massive screeds of command line entry.
Now this little rant, i hope it doesnt put the OP off because the pi and other SBCs are great - just remember they are "real" computers without the sugary coating of windows or osx on top.
