Unless you specifically want to tinker with the system you probably want to stick with SteamOS.
Former programmer and computational neuroscientist, now HPC support engineer in Okinawa, Japan.
Photography, bouldering and recreational programming are things I do.
Sweden, Osaka and Okinawa are places I particularly care about.

Ah sorry, misunderstood.

I see the screenshot from the Mastodon mobile web client.
Edit: of course I do. It’s the other way around that doesn’t seem to work.

Ubuntu is an excellent introduction to Linux I think. Also used a lot by experienced users that no longer want to spend much time keeping their desktop running.

File system operations are often faster. This is in part due to Windows doing more; it has a more complex and more flexible permissions system.
Spawning threads and processes is also normally faster. Linux apps thinks nothing of spawning lots of processes with abandon, then have them opening and closing files all over the place. If you move it straight over to a Windows machine it will tend to run very badly as a result.
