And if you come to find out that your motherboard doesn't support TPM while trying to install Windows 11, then Linux is light years ahead of windows in terms of easy of use on the clean install. At that point, Linux blows Windows out of the water.

My Linux Mint when updated 19 -> 20 crashed totally and i must resistal.
Not only me (see in comments section):
How to upgrade to Linux Mint 20 – The Linux Mint Blog
On Mint 20, I added caja-share for smb GUI, but system totally ignored what will I set via GUI. So, I must set manully via etc/smb.conf.
For me Linux is much more problematic and needing attention than Windows which has been working properly for years and I only read about the problems of others.

Yeah with laptops (and even desktop motherboards now) having Secure Boot enabled by default (plus typically need some other bios settings, i.e. sleep style for Lenovo laptops) this is complete crap.
You missed the whole "regardless of distribution part" (and I do run arch/Manjaro btw)

What distro do you use? I said something strange is happening too but I don't think it's some kind of conspiracy. It could be just a bug on many pieces of software, or it even could be i'm just a stupid human falling on my bias.

And if anything, only Nvidia drivers come with a gotchas on Linux. Who should we blame?
On windows you just go to NVidia/AMD and download/update the latest driver (in fact both of these companies have drivers that also auto check for updates).
The context of the thread/article is not about basic desktop environments where someone is just using a browser (and even that has problems, wayland/pipewire anyone?)Last edited by mdedetrich; 02 July 2021, 01:59 PM.

why? Valve makes money with linux gaming, 0.9 is likely millions of profit every year and a alternative if something goes wrong with windows and mac(this is only a matter of time to stop having steam).Last edited by BesiegedAce; 02 July 2021, 01:58 PM.
