It's rare, but every once in a while, and thankfully it does not happen often, however, occasionally the Linux ecosystem goes to sh-t.
Microsoft Windows users have to deal with sh-t nearly all the time, by comparison. A lot of little annoying things that just keep adding up and driving you nuts.
Linux is often solid and stable, by comparison. But every once in a "blue moon" (rare), it will not matter what distro I hop into, I find myself frustrated and irritated.
I seem to be going through one of those phases at the moment. For example...
Debian has changed something in their ISO's which prevents network installation from connecting. It sees the network —it just doesn't connect.
Arch will boot up without a display if booting from a cold boot or after any boot changes, and the only solution is to press Control ALT F2, log in, and reboot. Not exactly good if you're using a Bluetooth keyboard.
Thankfully these phases, these awful periods in time, are rare and far and few in between.
This is not common for the Linux ecosystem.
But when it happens, it's so frustrating and I can never understand why it happens.
A late friend of mine would jokingly tell you it was planned, considering these events happen across multiple distributions with multiple different kernels.
Generally speaking, there is no reason for it to happen across the ecosystem. — But it does. Thankfully not often.
Historically, it will take more than I'd like it to for it to work itself out
All these little annoyances, all these systematic issues, will be resolved. But historically, they will oddly take more than a month
Which is why my late friend would have joked around about how this feels planned. Both by the fact that it happens universally across the ecosystem and while the ecosystem is usually very quick to fix bugs, when we hit one of these phases, suddenly there's a pause or lag in development.
For the moment, as annoyed as I am, I will never go back to Windows.
Microsoft ensured (guaranteed) that was impossible the moment they decided to include ads in an operating system.
Furthermore, I have read their complete terms of services and user agreement. I do not remotely agree with it —Not morally, not ethically, not legally.
My computer is mine. I paid for it. I own it. I will do with it, what I want, change it with what I want, and freely share it with who I want.
Microsoft's new user agreement and terms of services indicates that not only do you not own your copy of Microsoft Windows, which you purchased, you simply lease it.
That particular part is nothing new and has been part of the Microsoft standard license agreement for years.
No, the interesting change was that by using Windows, you lease your computer to Microsoft.
It was rewritten sometime ago as a cooperative lease.
