This is not my experience either personally, or with my 70yo father in law, or employees all running Linux distros. The experience is excellent apart from battery life. My son who games on Windows hates its constant random 100% CPU usage and compulsory reboots.

Last time I checked (stock Ubuntu circa 2018) I couldn't even select files in the file manager with mouse selection rectangle if the view mode was set to table-like, like "Details" in Windows Explorer. This was my last straw, actually. I mean, how hard could this be to implement? How could they ship it without something basic like that?

I am not sure about CPU usage, but I haven't experienced compulsory reboots on any of my two Windows PCs, both running Windows 10 Pro. I know reboots happen in the background from time to time because sometimes one of these wakes to a "blank slate" state, but hey, I can live with this.
