Wouldn't it be nice to not have an adversarial, abusive relationship with your OS?

The whole point of computers, as far as I can tell, is to be that abusive relationship we never could perfect with humans. Linux is no exception, it's just more passive-aggressive and better with gaslighting.

"You see, if only you'd installed this dependency, which I showed you so clearly in the error logs all along - and I categorised them so nicely - but you never like to look there, do you? - I mean, I understand, and that's why I mentioned it - not too strongly, because I didn't want to upset you more - in the terminal output..."

Package managers have become so much better with dependencies. It's been a while since I've encountered an issue, with yay it very usually works out of the box.

My stint with Ubuntu... 16? Did not end well.

You realize that 16 means 2016, right? That's almost 8 years ago. And even as someone who uses Linux I don't like Ubuntu. I highly recommend trying Mint, Fedora, or EndeavourOS (Arch)
