I'm not a Linux hater (believe it or not), but I'm definitely not an evangelist either, and I think this eternal praise for Linux is just not warranted.
If you want things to "just work" in any capacity, then you're in for a bad time.
Personally, I don't want Windows 11 on my next PC, but I don't have the time or the desire to get into the troubleshooting hell that unfortunately is Linux either.
People say that anything is possible on Linux, but at the same time roast you for even thinking that it's not gonna take enormous amounts of un-learning and self education when coming from Windows.
Linux fanboys who don't see it's faults can be sort of toxic.
I don't doubt that I'll get downvoted for this, but I think there need so be more differing opinions on Linux on here.
Linux users to Windows users with a question: "you can solve that by switching to Linux"
Linux users to that same user when they switch to Linux and have a question: "why the fuck do you wanna do that? Go back to Windows."
Yeah that is basically my concern. However I figure I can always just buy a Windows licence if it doesn't work out.
Or use massgrave.dev and get it for free.
