Quoting: I stopped using Linux for a year, here's what brought me back —
You may have noticed that I have a thing for Android devices. I love the diversity of Android hardware, and I get on just fine using these newer form-factors to replace my PC.
Thing is, these devices tend to reach end-of-life pretty quickly. Google and Samsung may have announced seven years of support for their newest devices, but that doesn't apply to their older phones. And most of us own Android phones and tablets that stop receiving updates after just a couple of years (if that).
You can use a conventional Windows PC or MacBook for years, but Linux manages to outdo both. In the Linux world, if your hardware is powerful enough to run the latest software, then you can install it. You only need to buy a new device when your machine falls apart or is too slow to keep up. That's the way I like it.
