You're right. It's not that difficult of a concept and luckily Linux works just like that. I will admit that Linux wasn't always user friendly but it's made leaps and bounds in that department. A bit less than a year ago, I decided one day to wipe my SSD completely and install Linux and I've been using it ever since. I'm doing everything I was doing for. Obviously this is going to depend on your specific needs but for me it's been just fine.

No it doesn't.

My last attempt was six months ago. Still had a few key programs in a tarball. Dow

Then there's always the random hardware incompatibility. This last attempt it decided to flip the screen upside down on my laptop screen. Fun times...

It's come a long way, but for the average user, it's not anywhere near polished enough.

What kind of software do you use? I have never needed to install a tarball. Flipping the screen upside down seems like a very easily fixable problem compared to some of the stuff windows throws at you

I'm curious what distros you have tried.
