Two months with Linux as my daily PC driver. I do not regret it.
I have walked from Microsoft Windows via Apple macOS to LMDE Linux Mint Debian Edition.
Most of my computer software, operating system as well as applications, are free and open source software.

You know what your next step is. DeBodhi.
@zaivala Yes! I've heard from someone it is very good.
@hehemrin
I personally am loving it. It's still in beta but I can't tell. 32-bit is in beta 2.
@zaivala I tested it as live-iso a few years ago, but only to see how it looked. I will install and explore more one day! Another one, non-linux, I want to explore more (no intention as daily drive for foreseeable future) is Haiku.
@hehemrin
I have frequently been on the edge of testing Haiku. I downloaded it a couple times but never gotten around to install it. I still have not used a virtual machine, and I don't like trying things that I can't put on metal. I have seen a video recently or a person claimed that it could now be daily driven, thanks to the addition of the falkon web browser.
@zaivala I agree on using metal vs virtual. Plus to be honest, I have not tried to learn virtual.
I check, I first tried Haiku Beta 2 on ThinkPad and IdeaPad, but never booted (USB-Live-ISO). Then I tried again with Beta 3 and it worked on both. Now they are on Beta 4 (plus nightly) so I guess it can be daily as an enthusiast. But not for me who want something simple and robust, but to spice up my life now and then. The advantage of an own site is it helps to remember: https://www.hemrin.com/business-blog/exploring-haiku-os-part-1
@zaivala I think I've heard about it, but forgotten it. Yes, it should be worth to keep an eye.
Related, I have CrossOver by CodeWeavers to run Windows applications. CrossOver is as you probably know based on Wine and supports the project, and I read React collaborate with Wine. I started to use CrossOver when I migrated to macOS several years ago and now use it on Linux for a few applications (my impression is that it works better on Linux than on macOS).
@hehemrin
I have also been keeping an eye on React OS
