Do you have to use Wayland? If something's buggy in Wayland, I always switch back to x11. Wayland's finally gotten to a point where I can use it without bugs, but that's taken many years.

It's funny because as somebody that's been using Linux full-time for over 10 years I actually really really really really hate that Ubuntu is considered beginner friendly because I often find very very simple tasks incredibly frustrating on it.

I know that everybody disagrees with me but I genuinely think that something based on arch like Endeavor OS is genuinely more beginner friendly. You don't have to fight with repositories to get up to date drivers, virtually any piece of software you could ever want is either already in the extra/community repo or available through the Aur. And while yes it is possible that an update could end up causing an issue on your system Pac-Man is just way way better about not completely destroying the system and it is pretty easy to roll back. Even in a really really bad worst case scenario booting from a live USB and rolling back with chroot is easy enough I've actually walked people through it before.

Meanwhile the amount of times on both Debian and Ubuntu that I have had apt completely eviscerate a system just trying to do basic updates and then just bail out Midway leaving the system so broken that the terminal barely functions anymore is frustrating. And there's no particularly easy path to fixing that because dpkg is a fucking nightmare. Yes in the majority of those cases the system was multiple years out of date but that's no excuse I have updated art systems that were upwards of almost 10 years out of date and other than me having to manually update the key ring and reinitialize the signatures it was able to Simply jump right to the latest just fine.

🤔not sure if it is true frustration or just a great meme

True, even user-friendly Linux distros have their pain points. The real difference between Linux and corporate OS products is that you don't periodically need a new version because of a product churn schedule.

1, Revision OS is awesome, and good on you for sharing it!
2, I don't think that's you disagreeing really, just offering a "third path".

Garuda is amazing, but it definitely isn't a beginner distro. Also, a lot of the design choices are questionable, so I still wind up changing a lot of things after installing it.

Some people make mistakes when typing and miss them while proofreading and sometimes people aren't native English speakers.

If I may ask, which spelling mistakes caught your eye specifically?

If you debloat Win10 and 11 your system will run better. Debloaters are aggressive to differing degrees (I recommend Chris Titus), but a lot of things are turned on by default that shouldn't be - like the Xbox service when you don't have an Xbox - using resources for no reason.

I debloat my windows by using corporate EU windows 🤭but I game on endeavourOS 🤷🏻

Every time I see a Linux user's criticism of a problem with Windows, it's the kind of thing your grandma asks you to fix for her and takes ten seconds 😂

Calling Windows unstable in this day and age is fucking laughable too. If your installation is unstable, it's either you or your hardware

True - remember Windows phones? Me neither.

It's mind boggling to me how many people don't even use desktops anymore. Or do "serious" things like buy plane tickets on their phone. The younger generation is almost entirely phone-only.

This is where I am too. Just built a new gaming pc and was planning to do dual boot.

Installed windows 11 LTSC and honestly, it’s everything I want in a gaming pc so I guess no need to install Linux.

Having said that, I bought a pc that came with windows; can’t wait to kill it with fire!

How modern, I can't believe your computers support Windows 11.
