Personally I haven’t. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it’s whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

    Yep, people involved are the biggest problem sometimes.

    I’ve had to figure how to fix many issues myself, because quite often upon finding a thread where someone already had an issue that I had, folks were tryna gaslight the OP why it’s not actually an issue, eventually turning the thread into shit flinging contest. Or the good old “don’t do that, you’ll break something” (that I proceeded to do and was absolutely okay).

    Not to mention how FOSS developers have to deal with entitled assholes every now and then.

      Me: Ugh, X problem!? Fine, let’s google it and find the answer…

      OP: I have X problem, which is stopping me from doing Y.

      Answers: Oh, you don’t need X to do Y. Here’s a solution for your Y problem!

      Me: I don’t care about Y! What about X problem!?

      entitled assholes, and more recently waves upon waves of un-reviewed SLOP code from morons who can’t even write a Hello World program.
