- thatguy0900 5y agoArch is not a good goto if you don't want to spend a lot of configuration time
- edgyquant 5y agoTo get an OS? Sure. To get one setup to run my dev environment, games and media? I have to pull in a GitHub repo and run a script that installs and configures everything for me (before the usual tasks of logging in to a hundred websites.) I swore Linux was super easy to setup for years, and as someone whose daily driver is MacOS now I still agree it’s the easiest to setup to my needs, but all 3 main OSs can get you a system in a couple clicks/keystrokes. Windows is probably the most difficult to setup for me (MacOS is at least unix so my scripts for Linux mostly work on the Mac as well) and I only use it for my gaming pc (which was for years Ubuntu, I just decided to install windows on it since I only use it to game anymore.) I love Linux, it’s been my OS since Vista came out and I switched to SUSE Community Edition, but we get so used to our OSs we forget part of the ease of use is being familiar. When I problem pops up on Ubuntu I can solve it within a minute. When one pops up on Mac it takes me some googling (and I give up on windows.) None if these systems are all the easy (or difficult) to use, it’s just a few basic concepts and then a ton of time figuring stuff out.
