it ain't much, but it's honest...
it's not really work, is it?
I sure hope not. For me, Linux saves work vs Windows, but YMMV.
I mean, Linux does feel like some work to maintain at times, but I don't actually have a frame of reference since I haven't used Windows in years except briefly for a university project (where the VM was premade, no maintenance necessary) and for work (where the client is managed by IT and I couldn't even do any maintenance if I wanted to).
Then again, I have a habit of tinkering and actually making work for myself, which I probably couldn't do quite as well on Windows, so the comparison is screwed from the outset.
I used to do that, but I guess the novelty wore off after a few years. I've been 100% Linux for something like 15 years, and I'm happily rolling along with Tumbleweed.
