This made my night c:
I know my way around on Linux, and have learned a lot through having to persevere and work through these sorts of issues, but sometimes it's just.. I have ADHD, and sometimes I wonder if I'm in the wrong for devoting so much time to stubbornly persisting towards computational ideals. I won't give it up right now, but I could see myself having to cut back in the future.
I've recently had a pleasure of assisting my family as they attempt to adopt various Linux distributions. I've seen the discussion around the LTT Challenge YT series. Things don't work out of the box, and even people with substantial experience can hit unyeilding roadblocks. That's just the state of things.
And average folks, they're not using Gentoo. Or Nix, or Guix. But mainstream distros will keep improving their HW support, and ease of use. The more advanced distros will follow their lead, but I do think they're going to follow, and that mainstream distros just aren't there yet. But progress is happening, and it's good for all of us: good for naïve users who need thing to just work, and good for expert users who value their time as much as their software choices.
