I left Windows 15 years ago (still have to use it for work every so often)… I have yet to encounter something cryptic breaking on Linux
When the things go wrong on Linux, which in my experience is rare, you are basically in Windows territory: reboot if you don’t know how to fix it or reformat/reinstall which is 10 times faster anyway
Right now, my daily driver is a branch of a branch (Garuda Linux which is fork of a branch of Manjaro which itself is a branch of Arch)… it comes with KDE as desktop which is awesome but I felt like experimenting with Hyprland which is not even at version 1.0 yet… and I basically configured it from scratch myself… I also share this box with my son who does use KDE as his desktop which is actually not recommended (KDE Plasma and Hyprland in the same box, I mean)
As per any advice you will find out there, this machine should be like the crazy robot in Futurama that explodes with no warning at any little thing and yet, it’s my daily driver for work, daily gamer for my son… rock solid and smooth… I have had 1 odd freeze I chose not to wait out and just rebooted the box in 9 months, and the freeze happened accessing Windows365 Desktop… go figure
or unless something cryptic breaks on Linux and no one on the inner net can figure it out.
