You’ve heard the “prophecy”: next year is going to be the year of the Linux desktop, right? Linux is no longer the niche hobby of bearded sysadmins and free software evangelists that it was a decade ago! Modern distributions like Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, and Linux Mint are sleek, accessible, and — dare I say it — mainstream-adjacent.

Linux is ready for professional work, including video editing, and it even manages to maintain a slight market share advantage over macOS among gamers, according to the Steam Hardware & Software Survey.

However, it’s not ready to dethrone Windows. At least, not yet!

    I know I have used a gui on linux for users and groups. I find it hard to believe there is not longer a gui interface. same with starting and stopping services. I just went to the system monitor now and there is an option to kill processes on my laptop and my settings has a gui for adding and removing users. It does not have groups but im not running a distro meant for the enterprise.
