Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There’s always software I can’t use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages… last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.

I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?

    Yeah, but let’s try to install graphic drivers and everything starts to break down. And without them performance is just shit.

      Are you using the driver supported by your distro? I’m not Nvidia user, but I have fair share of installing Nvidia drivers on Linux. As long as you don’t stray from driver the distro gave you, I never have problem. Literally not once.

      And if you are trying to install AMD or Intel proprietary driver. Why? Just…, why?
