I realized why I enjoy Linux so much and why I've stuck with it all these years (slight vent)...

Linux@kbin.social – 0 points – In a world where nothing seems to work anymore, especially anything related to tech and/or customer service, getting on my laptop running Linux Mint just feels like a breath of fresh air. And that goes for just about any distro. It's nice to have something that works as it should and doesn't seem to go out of its way to cause frustration and irritation.
(P.S. Loblaw's/PC Express suck ass. Canadians will know what I'm talking about).
What?! I'm sorry but no that has not been my experience, and it's also contrary to the commonly accepted reputation of Linux. I like Linux, it definitely has lots of advantages and benefits, but that definitely doesn't include it 'just working' and "not causing frustration and irritation."
Really depends on distro/use case/luck. I’ve had quite a few years without any issues, more with minimal and very rare irritations. The day-to-day experience continues is pleasant.
The few months have been somewhat more frustrating for me, and once I have a bit more leisure time I’ll switch distro to something that hopefully works better for me.
Hell yeah! I haven't tried Mint in awhile, it was my first foray into a Linux distro and I wasn't quite ready at the time, mostly because gaming on Linux wasn't where I needed it to be. It sure was a beautiful distro though!
I love that Linux has taught me how to debug programs and since open source is more common in Linux environments, if there's a problem then I can fix it myself rather than waiting for the developers to patch it.
Oh yeah, and PC Express and all the groceries stores are such bullshit! Galen Weston... heads (of lettuce probably) will roll!
A Linux computer does what you tell it to do when you tell it to do it, and that's all it does...
Like every computer should do.
But this hasn't been true of Windows computers in 20 years.
