      Must be nice. It’s been about seven years since I last dove into Linux, so maybe things have changed. But also in that time, windows became even more stable than it was, and it’s silky smooth these days.

      I don’t see any benefits to even trying Linux again.

        Ads in the greeter.
        lightdm-gtk-greeter does neither of these things.

        Ads in my menu along “news and interests”
        dmenu simply searches my applications.

        Don’t even get me started on the themes either.
