    I use Debian (before that slackware)…so don’t use rpm(red hat, etc.). I can tell you dependencies and troubleshooting that crap IS VERY MUCH A REAL thing! Flat packs are nice if they exist, if not…hopefully ‘sudo apt-get install’ picks it all up. Windows is actually still easier to troubleshoot, because it got a more robust central support…enterprise-wise…good luck with Linux…search the web forever! I can’t speak to MacOS, since Jobs left. I imagine its a shit show nowadays. However their iphone is unbeaten…stuff just works! …in weird ways.

      Debian is not considered a user friendly distro…

      It’s like buying a race car, and complaining its uncomfortable. I have used debian in the past

        Yes, that’s very true…Debian is definitely not user friendly. However it is the most streamlined Linux out there next to slackware…now that’s a cluster-fucking linux nerd orgy! I used Redhat back in the day…but it left me feeling the distro was getting too commercialized. I may revisit it. To follow your analogy… Debian is more like buying a sports car and complaining why it doesn’t come in automatic? :-)
