Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There’s always software I can’t use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages… last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.

I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?

    When I first tried Linux in middle school, I couldn’t manage to install a single program.

    I had the same experience. With Linux, you need to install programs with package managers, which are similar to the app stores on phones.

    I’d love to transition over my daily OS to Linux

    Why? What is it that you like about Linux?

      How lightweight it is! Man, things like TinyCore knock my socks off! The sheer efficiency is a marvel to behold.
