Comment on Linux help and actual pros and cons

Based on my own experience and critisism of Linux(which is rare on here): Nothing is plug and play. You will have to troubleshoot the simplest things. You will have to like it.

Did you read the criticism from about 20 years ago?

Not who you replied to but I recently put mint mate on my laptop and you can’t even change the color of the cursor or have the trail effect on it. Every program that’s not in the app selector thing I’ve had to go into terminal to install. I thought I was decently good at computer stuff but it’s like everything I try to do on Linux I’m hit with some weird roadblock that takes forever to look up because I don’t know what I don’t know and all the help forums are so full of jargon they may as well be in a foreign language. That said I am going to stick with it and learn because fuck Microsoft.

What did you expect? You should not assume that Linux works like Windows or whatever OS you previously were using.
