Causing me financial harm. For example, Verizon wireless hounded me for more than 3 years over $200 for a home router that I sent back to them.
The worst ms has done is make me read and disable/uninstall some defaults. They have encouraged me to look at alternatives and I have a number of non-ms devices.
Linux always screws up though and is redrawing the line for me. I have a small device that runs Linux and the upgrade process was backup all your data and then wipe/reinstall. wtf?
Another laptop wouldn’t login or let me do anything without typing in a PIN, while MS has Hello and UAC.
Looking up commands or blogs for something that should take 3 clicks, like fixing dpi scaling, shouldn’t take 30+ minutes.
If I struggle even the slightest with simple issues, it’s just not ready for me. I completed my college education solely on Gentoo machines (stage 1 I think it was called?) so I’m comfortable with Linux at a beginner to intermediate level. It’s just not polished.
I go to osx if they supported other hardware.
My user on the internet why the fuck are you using Gentoo for financial applications. There are a multitude of distros with a focus on stable releases rather than being learning tools for masochists (like Debian and derivatives, or Fedora based alternatives).
This sounds like the stories I've heard of young kids installing Kali linux and wondering why it's not working for their everyday tasks.
Mint/debian/ubuntu is where I encountered challenges. I only stated that have experience using Gentoo for a number of years to provide evidence that I’m not completely clueless.
