There's so much misinformation about Linux and people just take the bait hook, line, and sinker. I don't get that...

Linux was way easier than I expected it to be and I have an advanced use case (home recording studio) which took a lot of tinkering to figure out. I did all that tinkering in a dual-boot arrangement and once I was done and convinced my needs were met, I never looked back.

For the last year, every day I boot up my PC I'm happy.

It’s easy until it’s not. I’ve got a decent gaming rig and have been running Linux on it since I built it a couple of months ago. Once an update completely broke my sound but the next one fixed it. Otherwise it’s been fine.

On the other hand I set up a Raspberry Pi to be a print server and have been troubleshooting it since Christmas. It will print the first job just fine but subsequent jobs are stuck in the queue until I reboot. I’ve googled endlessly, tried everything I can think of and it just won’t work unless I constantly reboot. Same printer worked flawlessly in Windows 10 for years before I set up the Pi.

So, yeah. YMMV is the problem with Linux.
