I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there's always something that doesn't work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven't been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there's always something that's broken in every distro.

I'm sorry I'm just venting, do you people think Ubuntu will work for me? I think I will try it next.

My current work forces me to work with Apple (because they are lazy to prepare Linux for working), I have been on Linux for almost 10 years and I really want to quit my Job because of this stupid Apple laptop, it is trash, the DE is stupid, and I have many issues (with settings, login items, alacritty not working... yabai stopped to work without any reason...) that stresses me a lot... So good, I love my work and I still enjoy working, but the macOS is pure trash.

I prefer Linux and I’m OK with macOS. Windows on the other hand I dislike, it has bloated complex middleware and tries to control me like a hand puppet. I can work on it but given the choice I go elsewhere.

I can't with macOS, even they keybinding makes no sense... it's such a pain and I love Linux too much. About Windows... it at least has an easier way to manage the app windows and minimize and get it back properly, on macOS I need to install third party tools to be able to switch from windows from the same app, and it's really a mess and slower than a built-in grid and windows switch manager. Also, if you are an expert of Windows you can always remove much bloated stuff, there are some high skilled Windows users that know how to clean their Windows OS, the only problem is WSL2 isn't working properly for me, it is limited compared to a decent Linux system and on Linux you can always run Windows apps with wine, so I don't see why I would want to use Windows haha.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
