Yeah, I don't feel that way at all about Linux and I daily drive it. Could you imagine our mothers troubleshooting any of the following things that have regularly happened to me on Linux in the last 5 years I've been daily driving it:
* Hm, my sound stopped working.
* Hm, dhcp stopped working.
* X has completely failed to start.
* This website just straight up doesn't load.
* Thia game won't load (pretend it's solitaire).
* This update broke my boot.
* Seemingly doing nothing broke my boot.
* This update broke my browser.
* This application does not work without configuration.
* My monitor layout is broken.
Maybe things are better in Ubuntu land, but I doubt it's as seamless as Windows/Mac.
- goohle 5y agoMy mom uses Fedora Linux for more than 15 years. She never saw any of that. I perform upgrades when necessary.
- vetinari 5y agoSimilarly, my parents are on Ubuntu LTS since 6.06 (not on the same computer, obviously), when I got tired with regular windows reinstallations. There have been exactly two problems: - "internet doesn't work" -> yanked ethernet cable. Later I made sure it cannot be easily yanked. - "printer doesn't print" -> classic inkjet problem with dried ink. Inkjet replaced with b/w laser. no problems since.
