i followed a “install any linux distro in 5 minutes” guide and after just 14 hours i finally have an OS that is running properly

as a long time hater i must say its very nice and i like it a lot, especially considering microsoft is hellbent on making windows the worst OS as quickly as possible. i will say, im a big nerd and this stuff comes to me pretty easily but i still think hoping normies will adopt this is kinda insane

anywho, its the year of linux or so i keep hearing

also if anyone knows why my keyboard keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes or so, i would very much like to know why. its an anne pro 2 that i am using with a wired connection

      I mean in terms of general usability. I switched to Linux like two years ago, at that time I had a mid-tier AMD machine with no brand new parts, and I still had to spend many, many hours troubleshooting issues that I simply wouldn’t have had if I was on Windows. Even now I’ll unexpectedly hit things that I expect to Just Work and end up spending all day figuring out why they don’t.
