Or “when something doesn’t work you’re going to crawl through old forums hoping to find the solution”
Tried Linux again recently. No thanks. It’s come a long ways, but that’s one thing that hasn’t changed.
When that stops being as frequent of a problem, I’ll switch without looking back. Fedora KDE Plasma was pretty slick, and some things actually worked better than windows, but I cannot stand having to Google around to fix basic things as frequently as Linux wants from me. Not that Windows is perfect, but I don’t know. The problems feel easier to fix and are less… Outright broken?
And now here comes the Linux users telling me I’m wrong like they do every time I say this despite my experiences being very recent lol that’s another thing that will never change.
I’ve had far more problems installing windows over the years than I’ve had with linux and linux has been the only OS I use at home for quite a while now.
Wine sometimes works. Windows in VM might be possible if you have beefy hardware. With dual boot is probably the best option if you can manage the intricacies.
“I can’t run the application you need”
“I can’t digitally sign a pdf without a phd”

Just installed Fedora today. Can confirm, a Lemmy post and several wikis really helped me out.
I think that other distros are less like that, but experiencing breakage and having to search for solutions is a perennial problem.

More like “I will run literally anything besides things you shouldn’t run because of privacy concerns… Though you may need 3 hours to install it.”
“RAM shortage? What RAM shortage? I smell DDR3 somewhere in the room, use that, I will still run fine”
That app that infringes your rights is the one you need to earn a living.
Ok then use wine or dual boot
It won’t stop privacy concerns but at least it makes it more complicated for microslop to collect everything about you

Wine seems pretty good. Though I need to understand it more deeply before I can comment more on it
