I used Linux for my work PC for a year and had endless problems. If it was my personal pc that would be fine but I was wasting time that I should have been using to complete my work, instead spending that time debugging constantly changing problems

Mine has been super smooth as a workstation for 7 years. But I think that is the fragmentation issue with Linux. I chose a distro based off of a corporate one and random dude uses Hannah Montana Linux expecting same results.

True, the solutions people would give to my problems almost always involved installing a new disro, and usually it was a different distro in each answer

Funny, that's my daily experience using corporate windows boxes.

I think you're born either able to use Linux trouble free or able to use Windows trouble free

Or you're me, and can use neither trouble-free. I'm basically this man.
