A lot of input in the comments, I'll just add mine in the mix.
I guess wanting to change the OS for someone can be good if:

  • the current Windows version is EOL and/or has security issues/concerns,
  • the hardware is too old to upgrade,
  • the current user is fed up with crashes, popups, slowliness etc...

Now, I would go for Mint anyday instead of Ubuntu, because the default matte desktop feels more confortable when coming from windows.

As for Scrivener, I don't even know what it is, but Wine is quite good recently, so if you're tech/linux savy, you could try to make it work.

I tried during the week-end, and it's a confortable and light experience.

But Steam (I game a lot on my computer) doesn't work well, it stops showing the store page (it gets all black) when I change the virtual desktop.
I then have to display my library then click again on the store to see the content again.
Very annoying.
If it was not for that bug, I might have switched permanently.

I kept it installed and will retry from time to time if the Steam issue goes away.

I liked the idea to be honest. I can just call the entry "description" instead and all is good ^^

I used to love XFCE many years ago, and will try to set it up again this WE.

This is actually pretty genius, why haven't ever thought of that?

I am the one on the right at the moment...

A lot of good answers but I would add one note:

  • use a format that supports comments, and JSON is not one of those...

At work, for websites, we are targetting 1280px wide and everything bellow. (down to 320px)

You are correct, the article says:

The latter has to do with its weather and seasons system, and includes content that came in the original via DLC.

Thanks for the correction.

They say they are both decentralized, or I am missing something?

another game to dodge then...
also when seeing the sheer amount of dlcs for the current version, I am not surprised the slightest.
