Agree. There are dozens if not hundreds of Linux distros, I'd they want different, try another. Just keep it simple, secure, and windows can fuck off. I have bazzite on a gaming laptop for games with the kiddo, Zorin on my main laptop and desktop.
And before I get shit for having so many devices, I save devices the clients were going to trash because it was "old" and not reliable enough for professional business environments. Which I do agree a bit. Most of my devices are 8th or 10th gen Intel, I replaced the nvme with my own and canibilize memory, I'm not rolling in several thousand dollar systems. And I give away SO many to neighbors, full systems, laptops, monitors, etc, ready to go. Wasting tech is against my religion.
You have seriously misread Lemmy as a whole if you think having three devices is going to make people angry. What an odd thing to get defensive about.
There's many more, those are the Linux devices (plus a steam deck). I don't like taking about all the shit I've accumulated over the years, makes me feel sad and wasteful.
I mean, if you are recycling devices that others would have thrown away, I'd say you are not wasteful at all.
