        If X doesn’t work you’re definitely in for a rough time, that’s a fundamental part of the system.

        This is sadly true for so much software, not just Linux but also many Linux application packages and self-hosting packages.

        I tried to install Nextcloud yesterday, and failed at three completely different attempts/guides/packages. Same thing happened a year ago. Maybe I’ll try again in a year.

      @Maticzpl Tbf my Windows OS makes me perform a bizarre ritual to just get my headphones to connect each time. Windows has as many bugs as Ubuntu at least.

      I also have known people that were non technical that had way worse a time getting drivers to work on Windows than on Linux.

      Real issue is software support. A lot of the big closed source stuff only wants to run on Windows whereas most open source stuff is fine working on everything.
