Been working with Windows for 30-years and Linux around 20. Yeah, Windows “just works”. Linux always needs fiddling.

I made “little old lady” computers and laptops for people who couldn’t afford my help. Take their old machine, upgrade with whatever spare parts I had, clean it up, load Linux Lite, fix all the drivers, “Here’s how to get your email and internet.”, done.

That worked because I did the OS fucking around up front. Starting with Win10, maybe even Win7, everything functioned well enough to run. You can’t tell me any given Linux ISO runs without fucking about, right out the box.

You and I aren’t your average user. Don’t put your experience on the others.
