From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Dont get me wrong, linux never been this useable ever. But still not complete in my opinion.
I am working 12 hours a day plus 2 hrs commuting, when I get home, I want to chill.
I dont want to deal with package managers, window managers, network/gpu drivers and random asian guys github repository to fix my issues.
Honestly, windows isnt that bad for me. I never saw a blue screen in my life or some kind of error takes more than 10 mins of tinkering. I believe what I see. (I daily drive fedora w kde btw)
I forgot the name but there was a website calling every software shit, I agree with that guy.
We need more professionals working fulltime on linux and distros, more real tech support. Community support doesnt mean anything if no one maintaining it well...
We need more funding on desktop like how tech giants funding ubuntu server.
You cant tell a company that, oh this software is free but you are depending on a community which isnt promised to be existed in 5 years, but you can still fork it and maintain a whole desktop os.
Are you crazy? Stick to some stable or semi stable distro with a mainstream DE and you don't have to deal with any of those. 🤦♂️
funny how i never have to deal with "package managers". i just turn my computer on and use it?
if you want the same proficiency you have on an OS you've been using for 30 years, you will have to acquire experience with it too.
make the investment or deal with windows, choice is yours.
Have you tried running Linux without tinkering any of these? I’ve installed Debian on numerous machines, the distro known for its outdated packages, and never had the need to tinker any of these to get them to work out of the box.
It just works
This you manage for literally any operating system, certainly not a Linux exclusive.
It’s okay, just trust the random Asian guys blog instead to fix Windows issues, much fancier experience.
