Linux has by far been the most frustrating experience ever for me on the computer.
You’re trying to fix A but in order to do that you need to fix B first, but… surprise! in order to fix B you need to fix C first. This is the most accurate depiction of what I went through: https://youtube.com/watch?v=AbSehcT19u0
I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to be able to customize your OS, but holy damn if the way to get there isn’t filled with warts and shitty documentation. At the end of the day I think I may have had a net benefit of using Linux, but I wish someone would have told me the real deal before venturing boldly where oh so many have gone before.
Also, if I may give you any advice, I recommend not visiting /r/Linux or at least not taking it seriously – That place is pretty much a low effort circlejerk where Linux is the best OS on the planet with absolutely no downsides (lol)
The mods there literally banned me because I wanted to expedite [my post](https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/tpffai/psa_urgently_update_your_chromeium_version_to/) about a glaring security vulnerability that everyone should have been informed about ASAP. Go figure.
Loving the new contents bro. Keep them coming .
It’s not the first, it’s the most successful one.
Haha
I’ve used Linux since forever. I would always avoid spyware hidden in closed source corporate operating systems. And Linux simply works better in every respect that matters. Happily that includes gaming today too.
But I think the most eye-opening moment for me was when I switched my parents, who are in their 70s, over to Ubuntu. The change was shocking. The tech support calls stopped and they started to be happy and empowered. No viruses. No malware. No forced updates. The computer stopped being their enemy and was helping them.
It is startling just how hostile the likes of Windows or macOS is today, most particularly for older people. It’s all about spying and monitoring and restricting and controlling and advertising. My parents have been using Ubuntu for about 15 years now and the change was enormous. It helped me escape tech support duties and it helped them. Now they happily torrent and can even open a terminal. And it basically never goes wrong or tries to take control away from them. The interface makes sense to them.
