    Boot every day and expect everything to just work

    Plug a random device in and it just works

        sounds like a skill issue

        What exactly is your intent here? All you’re doing is further alienating people from even trying Linux when you act like such a shit about people’s genuine issues they might encounter with it.

      Oh, if we speak about “boot every day”, than Windows is notorious for changing peoples updates settings and then downloading broken updates. Linux (unless you set it up otherwise) won’t do shit if you won’t update anything over 10 years, everything will stay the same.

          I run PopOS on my gaming computer. I blanket update whatever has updates in the PopShop on a daily basis. My computer has been rock solid for going on three years. I haven’t had to mess with any settings aside from a bit of audio config (through the built in UIs, nothing in the terminal) when I first installed.

          This sentiment of “every time I update my Linux installation breaks” is like ten years out of date at least at this point.

      I have more luck with Linux than windows on this one. My windows installs end up way more fucked from trying to bring in random shitty device drivers and shit whereas most Linux drivers are built into the kernel. Now sometimes you’re just out of luck on Linux and there just isn’t a driver but I haven’t had that happen in like a decade for me.
