I love this copypasta, I love my linux, I hate my windows. But let's be honest with ourselves for a second and completely ignore the punchline of this meme.

Those ARE valid criticisms of linux distros. Arch is not for casuals so you should be aware what you're getting into before stepping in, however your everyday-consumer-facing distros like Mint are still far from providing a fully comfortable day to day experience.

Again, I love my Mint, I'm never going back to windows, I'm a technical person and I had to use AI to help me run my nonograms game without it injecting cocaine into my CPU.

    Mint was providing a comfy day to day experience 15 years ago. I never can figure out why everyone says it's so hard.

    I'd wager it's due to the user's catalogue of knowledge being effectively reset, even the deepest of users of windows has years of working around the (many) issues. Swap to a new OS, the knowledge doesn't always transfer.

    It's not hard, it's just different.
