Mine was not really long and stretched out over multiple devices. First Ubuntu Server, on my server, then a Kali dual boot on my main PC (which was actually useful), then PopOS. Then Ubuntu/Debian, after some time LFS and finally Arch on my old laptop. Then Arch on my PC too, and my new Laptops, and finally Arch on all devices.
That would be like buying a car for ten times the price, limiting it to 10 kph and forcing yourself to sit on a 30*8 cm dildo while driving it: Way too expensive, limiting in every way and extremely uncomfortable.
I’m considering switching to linux but I’m not a computer savvy person, so I wanted to have the option to switch back to windows if unforeseen complications (I only have 1 pc). Is it just a download on usb and install? And what ways can I get the product key or “cleaner” debloated versions.
I switched 4 years ago and I experience the same. But to be fair, I also use an atypical setup designed for efficiency, so basically the opposite of windows in every aspect.
For me it is opening credits sequence in Nier Automata, Shadowlord’s castle in Nier Replicant and AI reveal in MGS2. All these three games are masterclass in storytelling.
Es ist mir jetzt innerhalb von wenigen Wochen zum zweiten verdickten mal passiert. Das erste mal wars der Kernel der im Arsch war und jetzt gerade mein Internet. Habe aber auch kein Bock wieder Stunden lang Probleme zu beheben, also gibts mal wieder eine Neuinstallation.
Kern hochdatum zu 6.9 (hehe) hat tatsächlich verhindert, dass mein Netzwerktreiber (r irgendwas) nicht geladen wurde, weil schon einer im Kern war. Deshalb wurde einfach keiner geladen, toll.
They fixed one specific issue afaik, not by actually fixing it but working around it, and they didn’t address the real, main issue: The driver being closed source. Until then, there are and will always be issues that aren’t present for AMD, because the latter has thousands of experts working, fixing and adapting other programs for it for free, around the clock.
Everyone who needs to use Mac or Windows due to work will very likely not have permissions to install anything anyway. And the lost souls using those “Operating Systems” out of free will … well “some just need to be left behind. The family doesn’t need to care for them anymore.”

For the average windows office or windows doom gamer? No. For anyone else? Definitely yes. Especially Intel GPUs and NVidia with Linux need massive updates to improve.
