Actually more like a self fulfilling prophesy
IMO many will leave Linux just before finding the fix!
I had tried dual boot but kept going back to windows because i knew how to do things there without having to mess with anything
Its only after i removed windows altogether and only ran Mint, that i was forced to seriously look for solutions. Once you do find them though, you dont need to mess around with anything that much any more
It wasn’t until windows shat itself and I couldn’t boot into it anymore that I took my Linux drive more seriously.
A suggestion for everyone that's kinda new, and to be honest, grizzled vets too... Use chatgpt as a trouble shooting tool. It's really surprising how good it is sometimes. I've had it write bash scripts in minutes, solve obscure Firefox issues, fix game settings for barely compatible games... So many things
Principally not a bad idea, but run a local model while at it!
Not very accessible, in the vast majority of (troubleshooting, nothing private) cases free gpt is the best option (fast, free, openAI training on that chat might even be beneficial to the community). Decent GPU's for LLM are stupid pricey.
