I’ve tried to switch to Linux as my primary OS several times over the years, and every time I’ve done it I’ve run into some bullshit where I need to install a kernel patch to make my mouse wheel work or find a custom driver on some obscure forum to have working sound. I’m a technically-competent person but it’s been a huge hassle literally every time I’ve tried, and that’s without getting into WINE or other cross-platform shenanigans. I want it to “just work” and my experience is that it just doesn’t. That said, it’s been a few years and Windows 11 appears to be insanely hot garbage, so maybe I’ll give it another shot.

“Thou shalt boil water before drinking it” would probably have saved a staggering number of lives. That and a handwashing commandment together would’ve been a home run for pre-industrial survival rates. “Thou shalt not trust a fearmonger” would also be a good, if perhaps self-defeating commandment.
