    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.

      Have you considered that the problem isn’t the distro developers, but the uncooperative proprietary corpos like NVidia who happily work with Microsoft but then throw a half baked proprietary driver over the wall for us?

      Also, I haven’t had hardware problems in a long time. If you don’t use brand new hardware, everything seems to work great. The incredible hardware support we have is a miracle, considering a lot of it is written by the community and not the creators of the hardware.

        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.
