The hassle is the price of having more control over what's happening inside your computer. Some people don't want to care about that, and for those people, Absolutely it's too much of a hassle.
I think the controversial opinion isn't whether or not Linux is more hassle than Windows or Mac (it is...of course it is), but whether or not that hassle is worth it. Does the extra control over your computer outweigh the few extra things you need to do to keep it running right.
For me, the answer is yes. I don't find having to be a little extra careful about some precautions before hitting the update button a huge inconvenience, or working through the occasional glitch when an AUR package upgrades past its dependencies.
But would that be too much hassle for someone like my mother, for example, who literally just wants to play games on Facebook? Of course. And there's nothing wrong with thinking that.
The "hassle" depends a lot on what kind of distro/de you've been given and how willing you're to start hassling around.
When I first decided to try Linux, I was hopping distros and going through every possible way to customize the UX and it was purely TO tinker.
Now it's just a fire and forget with Debian stable and GNOME. Just works and doesn't have too many unnecessary bells and whistles
Makes sense. Thats about where I’m at. The hassle is worth not having AI sifting through all my personal files and logging every fucking thing I do
