Honestly, I agree with @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net
Ok fair enough, but I wouldn't have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.
I'm not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.
These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It's also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.
Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic "use Linux".
From my experience, there was always some issue with me using "beginner friendly" distros that forced me down the Arch/Gentoo/etc. path, often due to lack of hardware support for newer devices or some feature unsupported in fixed release distros that I needed. I wish Mint offered a KDE version like it used to, and these forks of corporate Linux distros tend to get screwed over in some way and either have to support an abandoned feature or hardware or fix a controversial issue nobody likes, or they don't have the manpower to continue the project. Thus we need more funding and to overthrow capitalism so we can efficiently push for progress and standardization like China has been doing.
