I know it's not a very Linuxy distro, but Linux Mint (Cinnamon) is so easy to use, especially for Windows users. I've completely replaced Windows (and with better software), aside from using Windows for a few games that require it. I used Ubuntu, Suse, and Fedora long ago, but for me, Mint takes the proverbial cake.

Excepting the opinion of the imaginary person you've invented, the question still remains.
Edit: and I would like to add that I do not align myself with conservative politics. I just question the morality of killing a being that would have likely lived if it had been removed from the mother.
That's not really a relevant argument. It isn't about whether people care about babies or not. Rather, this is a question of ethics: is it morally wrong to kill a baby if it's still in your body but could live outside your body? If not, why not, assuming that it is morally wrong to kill another human?
Absent the hype, I enjoyed the Fable games a bit. They weren't superlative, but they were fun.
Have you tried Linux?
I know that we all love decentralization, but not everyone will buy into it as a concept, unfortunately, and that is their wont. As long as we have a community that is large enough, it doesn't matter that it isn't mainstream. It would certainly be nice to have more diverse voices, though.
It's a bit of a mixed bag. I do enjoy Lemmy. I think that the conversations that take place here are interesting (though many now revolve around Reddit in one way or another). I don't really find the front page to be as good as Reddit's.
And then, of course, I think the most important difference is that Lemmy draws a specific type of person, even after the Reddit migration, and there aren't as many of us as there are average Internet users. I'm not saying Lemmings are a special breed; rather, I'm saying that we're the sort of people who might have used Usenet at its peak. We're the sort who might be Linux users. Many of us are morally aligned with open source technology and the ethics thereof. This makes the discussions a little less diverse on Lemmy than they are on Reddit (which can be good and bad, depending on the sort of conversation).
If only Bungie would let me play Destiny 2 on Linux.
No, the death of the internet that killed the old Internet continues.
edit: and maybe that's a good thing.
It'll be even worse when there are no new series to watch because all of the people who write them are on strike. The content mines are drying up.
This is why I had to switch. It was just too clunky to get CUDA and Pytorch and Tensorflow set up in Windows. In Linux, it was a total breeze.
Edit: And then I thought, "well, wouldn't it be great if I didn't have to use Windows to use Linux?"
