I agree. I've fully been on Linux for almost a year now. Anyone who portrays Linux as being that straightforward and uncomplicated is being misleading and inaccurate. Linux is difficult. Getting it to do things you want is difficult. It takes time and energy and interest.
I'd still advocate to use it. Linux gets easier every year and long may that simplification continue. But don't jump into using Linux if you're not ready to.
I ran archinstaller, then installed plasma, and everything works. My media keys, function keys, suspend on close, all the basic tooling of userspace is there. I guess I had to read a paragraph on a wiki page to make the fingerprint scanner work but I literally just searched "thinkpad fingerprint arch" and installed fprint so hardly mystical.
Deceiver. If Linux was so simple Linux users wouldn't constantly be posting for help to get shit running
windows users do this too people are just totally desensitized to it

Newbies would post about Windows and Mac if they didn't come pre-installed. :beanis:
