It is not that easy. Unless you have a very in demand skill US citizen cannot simply move to any EU country.

This is the only correct answer. Onshape is a fantastict, feature complete CAD system that I would be happy to use for any commercial project regardless of size and stakes. Love it.

It is about installing .deb that you manually downloaded from somewhere. You can't install them by double clicking on them, you have to install from command line.

Wayland can do mixed DPI multi-monitor setup, and Onshape is a fantastic CAD system - it runs in browser and works perfectly on Linux. I used exactly that setup profesionally for nearly 2 years.

I used to use Tubleweed, but I tested Fedora Silverblue to check out what the immutability is all about and never returned. I think I will switch to OpenSuse Aeon, but for now it does not support Full Disk Encryption which is a deal breaker for me.

It does not explain Month to Month swings between 3.4% and 16%.

I honestly doubt that every 10th user in Norway is using Linux.

I assume data comes from statcounter.com. I looked at Norway there.

Browser market share: Firefox June 2023: 2.65%. September 2023: 36.27%!!! December 2.46%.

This does not compute. Similarly for Desktop OS. Linux in Norway has 3.41% is September, but 16.99% in November?

Starlabs StarLite is just around the corner, they should be shipping first units very soon. Passively cooled, Intel N200, 16GB RAM, 3k screen.

One year ago I treated how long it takes to get Gimp to install on various distros in distrobox:

Results:

zypper@Tumbleweed: 3 minutes, 22 seconds

apt@Ubuntu 22.04: 1 minute 26 seconds

dnf@Fedora: 1 minute 2 seconds

pacman@arch: 0 minutes 21 seconds

But that's just installation speed. It simply shows that there are quite big differences depending on use case.

They are very difficult to break. Even if there is a problematic update that would normalny kill your install you can just roll back too the previous working version.

Great for systems that you need to 'simply work'.

Consider OpenSuse Aeon if you want to dip into immutable systems.
