Linux isn't (just) better, it's also more FUN!

Its been better for me in every way.

I think "fun" is very subjective.
(I do think Linux is more fun though.)
-
Can Windows be fun for anyone with all its issues and MacOS with all its restrictions though?
-
Windows is getting so enshittified that even regular non tech users are noticing all the crap features that are being force fed.
A lot of people find MacOS fun. I really haven't used it enough (or barely) to have an opinion. But it seems to be a powerful OS when you know how to use it. Especially since its based on BSD.

No, it's better.

Still no easy virtual screen sharing similar to SudoVDA. Aka dead in the water for my uses. 😭

That should be possible depending on the use. What is your use case?

“Fun” I’ve ran into two super frustrating issues that I can’t solve in the last couple days. Yes if I daily drove Linux maybe I’d be better at solving them but I’m just not having fun.
I was trying to use a raspberry Pi and a small screen to make a daily planner for my wife. I can not get the .desktop file to open the browser on boot no matter what I try. I’m starting to think the internet made up this process.
The other device I was messing with recently was my steam deck, installing a non steam game is just upsettingly challenging sometimes. Lutris isn’t as plug and play as folks say. I ended up finding support on discord from a step missing in the Lutris instructions. I spent like all my free time Monday night installing something. Maybe tonight I’ll find out if it will even work. (Although that is a more promising outlook)
Like I want to like Linux but this is just frustrating.

I've used nodm for something similar. I used to show my homeassistant dashboard on it using a kiosk session in chromium in a nodm session. It does require some fiddling, but it does the job perfectly.
For games you could also add them to Steam and use proton if the game is supported, but lutris should be pretty straight forward, it was for me anyway, in Ubuntu.
Still, Linux can be a challenge in terms of non supported games.

I’m not familiar with Nodm. All my wife is looking for is weather and her work calendar so I was following a guide from YouTube/a guys blog similar to your set up just opening chromium in kiosk mode.
Can’t get it to open though.

I really think toxic positivity and ignoring reality have the opposite effect of what you want to achieve. False expectations only make the fall worse.
