Am the the only weirdo who swapped over to Linux without knowing a ton about it, and didn't really have any issues? I just started with a Windows-user-friendly distro (Mint Cinnamon), and then just looked up how to get through any weird (to me) issues that I encountered over time. Gradually learned more about what's under the hood as I went.

But I see these memes and stories about "I tried Linux, it lasted a week and I went back to Windows" here and there.

It's not scary. Am I missing something? XoD

You can tweak and fiddle with setting and suddenly 為什麼我要輸入中文
