    I’ve used Linux for decades but not for desktop usage. I work with Linux every day.

    I recently purchased a high end workstation to act as a hypervisor for multiple desktop systems. The plan was to boot into a Linux system and then from there load up one of many desktop OS and work seamlessly within a VM. This has worked well on a Windows host with VMWare Workstation and allows me as a contractor to have separation of configuration between customers.

    However I found Linux desktop to have too many glitches. From failed package installs, multiple monitor problems and some special keys being sent to both VM and host. I also found the user interface of some apps to be bad, which I can look past but with the other fundamental issues it added a bad taste to the experience. I really want it to work and I do go back every now and then to try again.

    I went from a 125 scooter to a Yamaha R6 and the first ride was so scary. I pulled the throttle back for the first time and I nearly fell off the back.

    3 weeks later and I was taking the bike to its limits without a care.

    Decades later I went from a VFR800 to a BMW R1200RT, which was massive in comparison. It was intimidating at first but didn’t take long to get used to it.

    The point is, get whatever you want, like the others said, the throttle is not an on and off switch. You only go as fast as you want to. You’ll get used to it quickly.
