    I find people complaining about every distro. The thing is, every operating system sucks. The good thing about Linux is how that becomes your fault.

      I mean I was asking about your complaint. Never heard of a Linux desktop that needs to be treated like a server before

      It can be your fault, but if the distro is supposed to be easy and you haven’t messed with its internals, it’s probably the distro’s fault.

      My #1 priority when choosing a distro was that it’s widely used and easy, because I don’t want to deal with that exact kind of shit.

        Ultimately it’s all open source, you can make your own distro. If something doesn’t work, fork it and fix it yourself. That’s the beauty of Linux, with all that’s good and bad about it.

      Plenty of Linux things that aren’t the users fault

      See the arch Linux grub incident

        Good to note this example is from 2022-08-30. Despite its “reputation” among some, Arch doesn’t break that often by itself.

          yeah, i’ve been running arch for a couple of years now and the only time something broke was when the computer died in the middle of updating

      I mean, not necessarily your fault but at least you know someone could care to fix it, and you didn’t spend $100 for the privilege.

        I would love to be able to pay $100 for more great Linux distros.

          You absolutely can. Most open source projects accept donations.
