I'm predominantly a Windows user. However I dual boot with Mint as I am trying to get away from Windows. It's really not easy but I'm trying.
I gotta say though these types of posts make me cringe. I really don't know why some Linux users put themselves on a pedestal all the time. You make these sorts of smug posts making out that Linux is perfect. I have never installed Linux and had it just work. There is always something that requires searching the web for a fix and firing up the terminal to start changing something in /etc/.
I get it. You're proud of your technology. But vegans are proud they don't eat animal products. We don't need to keep selling it to the rest of the world.
What problems do you have most often? Can you come up with a description of a class of problems you have that would account for most of the time you spend troubleshooting?
Who provided the documentation you used to install a Linux operating system you had trouble with? I don't recall having serious issues after installing openSUSE or Fedora Linux or even NixOS, and I certainly don't recall having any issues of above-average importance that weren't a direct result of my intentional actions (e.g. trying to permanently change what DNS servers would be used).
