"I actually prefer Windows over Linux as a foundational system—I just don’t like the Microsoft BS put on top of it. I think Windows is simply an easier and more straightforward system.

Trying to get non-tech-savvy users to go through a long, complex install process? Come on. A lot of people on the internet forget that when most users get home, they just want to pay some bills, watch some YouTube, play a game, or do something simple and then get off the computer. They don’t want to sit there dealing with a bunch of complex setup steps."

Amazing every word of what you just said was wrong

    Where we run in to issues like is: user has gnome installed and wants to turn on file sharing, goes to the menu and serches for it, flips webdav on. Then they can’t figure out that you need to install some packages for it to work, they get frustrated and gives up. Then they decide they need to connect their bluetooth headphones. They flip the bluetooth button. The button just springs back off. They have no idea they need to enable a background service for it to function. These are the type of issues the normal user gets mad at. Things they expect to work, but requires their tech support friend to help them.

      Or… Hear me out… Might be controversial opinion but just try.

      Don’t fucking install arch based distros. Just install Mint or Fedora plasma and be done.

      Zero fucking setup after install. The fedora workstation has so much pre installed and configured I cannot explain. Only gripe with fedora is the media codec bullshit because obviously AMERICAN CAPTALISM.

        As someone who runs an arch based disto, I agree. Arch (or endeavour is my case) is wonderful, but it certainly isn’t for everyone.

          I run arch. I use vanilla arch (btw) it’s the best. But that’s because I am ready to put in the time. Not because it is inherently better.

      Eh… What? That nevet happened to me. With every new laptop I just turn on Bluetooth, connect my mouse and am done with it.

      Did the users you mention accidentally compile Gentoo or something?
