The Space Cadet pinball was really fun. But honestly, I used to play Ti Back on 3.1 too.

The survey seems a bit awkward in its wording. It presumes only certain architectures exist and categorizes everything else as either freeBSD-based or generic. It doesn’t clearly define the options, which might limit meaningful analysis. Why do you expect people to select just one preferred OS when you have three? That’s understandable.

It might help to reword the question for clarity. Perhaps something like "If you had to choose just one operating system for the rest of your life, which would you prefer?" Would be more straightforward. I wasn't certain about including ARM or other architectures, though it seems those versions exist now. I have limited knowledge of BSDs, but that might be a sign something is up.

There exist even 36-bit systems. (Most of them are quite outdated.) That's the case.

Linux offers significantly more benefits compared to typical issues.

On my desktop Linux I've noticed occasional quirks with Steam's fonts and the need to adjust screen refresh rate at startup. My laptop, using Optimus, seems to have more persistent issues, which appears to be Nvidia's responsibility rather than Linux.

Trying to resolve issues where I can't delete or modify files because ownership prevents it, and lacking permissions for commands like sudo. Despite these challenges, I still find Linux unsatisfactory.

Uncertain about how you obtained the file permissions that caused issues... If your account lacks sudo access, you must log in through a different user with the necessary rights. Should no members of the sudo group be part of your account, that indicates a significant error. If this doesn<|pad|>, it’s acceptable. Users are free to choose any operating system they prefer, as long as they feel comfortable. No one is imposing restrictions.

I also had sudo access. The issue was mainly about file ownership, which I resolved by creating an account with the same user ID as the file owner. I appreciate that approach.

I recall using Windows for many years before discovering Linux. Initially, I thought it was pointless if you couldn't play games on it. However, as my knowledge grew and I realized it was possible to run many games and even dual boot, I decided to give it a shot. The main appeal was its security. Additionally, I was curious about trying something different. I started with Ubuntu versions 5 or 6.x and quickly spread its use across devices, shared it with friends and family, and made it my main operating system. I still rely on Windows only for games that don't work in Linux. Recently, I've been stuck using Windows 10 because the Dish Anywhere app behaves poorly in a virtual environment. I miss Linux, but I've grown quite fond of Windows 10. Nonetheless, I plan to invest in a Linux setup—specifically a dual-boot configuration—so I can enjoy Ubuntu more often. I currently use Ubuntu with the Gnome interface on both my laptop and desktop. On my laptop, I rarely boot into Windows since I don't play games there. Overall, I deeply appreciate Linux for its ease of use, security, and open-source nature. While I sometimes find its design choices a bit off, I don't mind using it anymore.
