Absolutely however I do not own a person computer currently as I have to use one for work - when I did own one until recently I usually ran Manjaro on it. I started tinkering with Linux back in the days of early Ubuntu as an alternative to Windows XP :)

I worked IT for a while, making sure I could run Linux on my work computer was a priority in every job.

Unfortunately I don’t work in IT - Aerospace Engineer and don’t get a say in IT and operating systems generally!
