I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 3 days agoGot a friend who is way better at tech than I am, he made the switch to Linux about a month ago. Seems like it’s a constant battle between him and his OS. Settings will randomly change with no explanation. Programs will refuse to run. The other day we were playing a game and suddenly his mouse sensitivity shot down to like the lowest setting possible. He didn’t manage to get it fixed until the next day.
Shit like that is what keeps me from moving to Linux. I already get headaches when I have to troubleshoot an obscure issue I have on Windows; combing through dozens of message boards and YouTube videos from years ago with outdated advice or solutions that don’t work. I can just imagine having to do that almost every single day, but having even less resources because there are fewer people using my exact set up and having my exact problem.

I dunno. Less people but almost every one using Linux is tech saavy and an enthusiast. I think there’s a lot of resources for help with Linux. I think there’s also a lot more things to troubleshoot though because in general the world / devices are built specifically to work with windows.
