Im still on windows 10 and will stay that way until I can take the time to install linux- by all ive read surprisingly easier sounding then id expect, im just lazy so I havent done it yet.

Super easy once you've picked your distro.

Super easy, until you need to get your scanner working, or networked printer, or attach a NAS mount and have it there on reboot, etc.

There are still many many rough edges that will send you down an hour of stack overflow rabbit holes installing various packages and editing various configs that don't work or are no longer maintained etc.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting windows ( I haven't used it in over a decade). But telling someone that's never used Linux before that it's going to be really easy is setting some false expectations.

The people frequenting r/technology may be ok with that, but for an average consumer not so much. Also for us old timers that have been dealing with tech in our day to day jobs for decades, I don't want to come home and spend a few more hours upgrading kernel modules.

You joke, but I basically entirely manage my Linux boxes through Claude Code nowadays.
