    Hard to figure out

    Which part? The one where to install an app, instead of downloading a .exe you search for the app in the package manager?

    Have to settle for similar but different apps.

    That’s not exclusive to Linux though. Like for example moving to MacOS you wouldn’t really expect for all the apps to work either?

    Video drivers not built in.

    Video drivers aren’t built into Windows either? And on Linux, AMD’s drivers are (as I understand it), and for Nvidia, you’ll probably have Noveau installed.

    Inconsistent bluetooth.

    How? I’ve found BT to just work on Linux, while on Windows I had to track down the specific drivers.

    Update all breaks everything.

    Unless you installed Arch (or any rolling release distro) as your first distro, this probably won’t be an issue.

    Hard to get support for your individual set-up when Linux is so fractured.

    Then maybe install Mint, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS or anything more widespread that does have the support you want?

      Ah, I see. So because YOU understand something, and know what you’re doing, and haven’t had anything fail on YOU, then it must be everybody ELSES fault, right? Meanwhile Linux has less than 5% of PC userbase, and that INCLUDES Chromebooks.

      I don’t think it’s even fairly controversial to say that Windows over the last couple of versions have turned into an unmitigated privacy dumpster fire, and only looking to get worse, and MacOS is and always has been a walled garden which offers very little in the way of customization or individuality.

      Yet despite all that, Linux only has about 4% marketshare, because nobody is able to use it. But hey, must be 95% of societys fault, and not the direct result of a confusing to use interface, right? And if YOUR bluetooth works fine, and doesn’t refuse to connect at random until you restart, that must be something I’m making up and doesn’t exist, right?
