I’m a non IT user interested in usability. I left Windows 7, on my home PC, over 10 years ago, as Linux has a good selection of Desktop Environments to choose from. So I get to try different ways of working. Windows has loads of tweaks. But no serious alternative desktops. Work PC is Windows only sadly.
I might be an idiot, but I’m not going to use a Mac.
This meme also perpetuates the myth that to use Linux you must be an IT person. I just use it as a user.
For using osm as a map, it’s great and very detailed. For cycling navigation it’s ideal. And beats Google maps that fails to find a route without a data connection. Like when roaming. And in many poorer countries, where humanitarian agencies desperately need maps, Google doesn’t bother to map any details, because there is no money in it for them. Fail again.
And, as with railways, companies love to build new, as you get a monopoly. But maintenance? No financial benefit to doing that.
For simple screen recording, I could only find not-so-simple OBS that let me record a part of a screen. In the end it’s a good and reliable solution once you set up and save the local area I want to record. Not so spontaneous, but solid.
I edit the videos in KDEnlive Windows install, which is excellent for this work. I have a smooth process and create many videos quickly.
