Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There’s always software I can’t use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages… last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.
I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?
I don’t agree with this. I would rather go with, in Windows if stuff breaks, you reinstall the app, you reinstall the OS and if that doesn’t work ditch the whole thing. In Linux, when something doesn’t work, you are provided information regarding why and how, which is complicated but allows you to fix the issue or share the information with others who will help you figure out what to do.
