I am fairly computer literate but Every time I install Linux I always come across an issue I can't fix without "days" worth of research to fix. This is across *buntu, Mint, Manjaro and PopOS. Last issue was getting a second HDD to work correctly. I don't think Linux will ever be as user friendly for the masses who just need something that works.

Same. I'd consider myself a computer tinkerer but Linux is just a pain to use when it doesn't work.

When it's basic comparability stuff that has been figured out for years in its competitors than I just can't be fucked wasting my time on it.

Same applies to every other OS. It depends on what you're used to and what you expect. I frequently rage quit apple devices. Just use whatever you feel comfortable with. I just can't recommend windows anymore for privacy related reasons.

It all depends on what you're familiar with.

I could tell your story with windows instead of linux.
