Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There’s always software I can’t use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages… last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.

I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?

    You should think that to yourself next time you ask for support or help with anything. Fix it yourself - it’s called learning. Try it sometime.

      No different then a good bug report. Try something, if it doesn’t work, research why. If after you’ve researched and tried everything you can, then present your case to others. By that point you can show what things you’ve tried and didn’t work, and what sources/references you used.
