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?
I agree with you that Linux can be frustrating, I said this in my above comment. I just don’t think Linux is inherently more frustrating than Windows. I use Linux on my personal devices and servers, as well as servers at work. I also use Windows on my work laptop. I find using Windows to be a much more frustrating experience, but I know that is partially because I use Linux more often.
