    Big old case of Stockholm syndrome.

    I can write and run hundreds of different server and service configurations, tooling, and standardized install experience though multiple packages, run ML, do ETL, etc, and it’s 90% the same and a mostly sane process that’s easy to learn, and quite marketable.

    DE isn’t that. It’s garbage. It’s overly complicated, you need an indepth understand of the eco system and tons of components and even if you end up learning the stack shit is still just going to break because of the absurdly broad nature of the entire stack. And frankly none of that is a particularly good skillet to have if you want to be paid well.

    There are 3 reasons to use Linux DESKTOP.

    1. Mandatory from your org.
    2. You fundamentally do not support Microsoft and Apple for whatever reason.
    3. You want to tinker in an endless loop if you want anything remotely beyond the default.

    The former is predictable and well managed. The latter is chaos and pain.

      1. I want a to be able to run it on an old computer and get security patches. Only need the web browser.

        Covered in the simple use cases. It’s fine if you want a desktop in is absolute most basic state.

        I’m just saying, so this garage “it’s about tinkering”.
