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.
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.
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.
