    I have the same experience as the author you just replied to. While some of what you are saying is true, I have never had everyday issues like these on windows. I switch to Linux once a year to change things up. Mint, arch, Debian… A few major issues I experience

    • login screen just freezes after standby
    • wifi not automatically recognizing what settings e.g. security protocol my work wifi uses
    • external monitors not working
    • updates just breaking my whole OS or not working

    These are essentials, not something I can simply learn to live with or fix on the fly.

    Would love to switch! I can get through work without proprietary software so that’s not the issue.

      Well, that sucks. I’ve used it for decades now and the last 8 or 10 years seems really low-maintenance.

      Maybe try a Fedora spin like Nobara next time you get around to it. It’s pretty tuned up and seems stable as hell. And fairly cutting edge.
