If you do NOT currently use a desktop #Linux OS but are curious (or hesitant) about it: what questions or concerns do you have?

@killyourfm I'm not daily driving one at the moment but have been for a few years.

Main concerns:

- You never know if the hardware is going to be well supported
- Battery life is much shorter on Linux
- Hardware acceleration support is uncertain. Scrolling a Firefox window can end up being very choppy on Linux and smooth on macOS and Windows
- If you need specialized apps, chances are that vendors don't support Linux.
- Most OSS maintainers struggle, so apps sustainability is uncertain

@system76 may want a word about hardware support
