    I am fairly computer literate but Every time I install Linux I always come across an issue I can’t fix without “days” worth of research to fix. This is across *buntu, Mint, Manjaro and PopOS. Last issue was getting a second HDD to work correctly. I don’t think Linux will ever be as user friendly for the masses who just need something that works.

      It all depends on what you’re familiar with.

      I could tell your story with windows instead of linux.

      Same. I’d consider myself a computer tinkerer but Linux is just a pain to use when it doesn’t work.

      When it’s basic comparability stuff that has been figured out for years in its competitors than I just can’t be fucked wasting my time on it.

        Same applies to every other OS. It depends on what you’re used to and what you expect. I frequently rage quit apple devices. Just use whatever you feel comfortable with. I just can’t recommend windows anymore for privacy related reasons.

          Oh I agree completely that it is an issue with say NVidia in this case. But it’s also pretty reasonable to understand why. You’re not going to spend that many resources on a small market segment when most of it is just Windows at end of day, so makes sense to optimise for that distribution.

          And fair enough for the rest. I haven’t tried in the last 5 years or so and it has generally been when upgrading to a brand new comp and deciding which OS to use so could just be bad timing on my part.
