        It does, like any good relationship, need some work. I have been using Mint as my main driver for the last couple of months, and even being a beginner friendly Linux it still needed some time to learn and google around. Now that it’s set up i haven’t run into anything for a long while.

      • Forcing you to reboot to install updates, sometimes interrupting a download or something just because it knows best
      • Ads creeping in all over the place
      • More and more “features” you don’t want and never asked for
      • AI being shoved in your face
      • Surveillance everywhere
      • Constantly trying to push you to use “Edge” instead of your chosen browser
    • Possibly linux

      You don’t have to like it but most people know how to use it

        No, they don’t, never have, and never will.

        I would be surprised if ‘most people’ nowadays even knew what the ‘Internet icon’ does, since it’s not a logo of Facebook/Instagram/TikTok…

        Even before phones, people could open a browser and perhaps browse pictures.

        The Office Suite is next level, attained by relatively very few.
