    You’re 100% right.

    Linux Mint is not hard to learn at all, it’s almost identical to windows.

    The problem is the random ass shit you have to debug that the average user will not do and conclude Linux sucks.

    IE if you have an Nvidia card, which shit loads of people do, you will struggle with bullshit just having two monitors…

    If you have Logitech devices, which shit load of people do, you won’t have drivers and you’ll have to fuck around dealing with shit.

    In addition to other quirky shit that happens on Linux some not really Linux fault and some just is.

    That said one of the good things about chat gtp / ai is that they are actually really helpful at debugging Linux.

    So yea… Linux isn’t just plug and play, the way windows is. Windows steals your data and has shit loads of bloat but just like cellphones the average person doesn’t give a shit nor does he understand how / why windows is awful.

        Yeah I have exclusively Logitech mice. That was a weird one lol. Also the nvidia stuff is pretty good these days. But I’d still buy a radeon if you’re planning on using Linux.

      Been switching monitors with Nvdidia card last few years (edit: yeah, laptop. So two monitors setup), every single one is plug and play. What am I doing wrong?
