Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

Yeah. Ive managed to make it work now, but when I was starting off with installing Linux, my audio was broken and all sorts of other basic functions were broken. Headphones would work but laptop speakers wouldn't. I had to restart all over several times after already installing everything I needed, just because some stupid niche (but important) thing was broken. Never had these issues when doing fresh installs of windows. I'm still very much on the "team" of Linux though, I just hope that it becomes a large enough part of the market that drivers for hardware are faster to come out.
