    Not Santa, but I’ve tried a dozen or more distros over the last 15 years. Multiple pains in my ass see me going back to Windows, every time. Headless Linux as a server OS rocks out.

    The fact that you have to ask is a major point against the Linux desktop.

      I upvoted you because this has been my experience.

      When W10 got cut off, I made one more bid for CachyOS and enjoy it, but even then, I had to prep myself with “I’ll run into stupid shoot that annoys me, question is, is it more stupid shit than I get on Windows”.

      I genuinely hate all the Linux ads that try to use the Mac “It just works” mantra without recognizing all the stuff people will have to do, not to mention the discovery process of those things.

      “Want to install an app? Simple! Just ‘sudo pacman -S app’! Want to find the name of a package to install, so you can start figuring things out for yourself instead of doing exactly what the tutorial prescribed character by character? Er, sorry, not in this guide, also your wildcards are used wrong!”
