Agree with pretty much everything. If I have to fight just to do basic shit why should I bother with it? My tools of the trade don't work on it, a lot of my games don't work on it, and my computer itself might not work on it (also AMD here). There's no value to using it. Just a lot of headaches.

That's exactly how I feel on Windows. I have to fight with stupid unintuitive guis and when you google for help, the solutions don't work because Microsoft changed something in some version, switched something around without any logic

Googling never works for me on windows, I just get redirected to their stupid forums with generic "update your pc" shit, problem solves itself after sometime somehow and I never know what the fuck happened in between. Windows to me is a magical box that sometimes breaks and fixes itself. Wasting my time in the process.
