Still here. Desktop Linux user. WFH accessing my Windows machine in the
office. Had some temporary successes getting people using Linux. My fiance
used it for a few years until she got a new laptop. My sister bought a work
laptop cheap without an OS so helped her get Ubuntuu running, but
work-needs meant she put Win10 on it eventually. Lastly my parents, who've
been using  Arch Linux for several years now because that's what am used to
configuring (just), it's fine for them to web browse.I use cygwin at work
for a few scripts. Debian on a NAS. OSMC on Pi.
