        windows just seems so much more user friendly. I converted an old laptop to linux to use it as a media server and pretty much everything i did needed a google search, and then whenever i did what google told me id get an error running sudo apt update which then required me to google search, which then caused an error, which then…. wash rinse repeat

        gave up and got the media server running in like 20 minutes after fighting with linux for ~2-3 weeks

          I use ChatGPT for these kinds of questions nowaday. I didn’t have a clue how linux cmd prompt worked at the start, but was able to install wi-fi adapter drivers, and do various other stuff and even remembered some of the commands. But yes. Some things are bigger hassle in linux, depending on distro you use. With Linux mint creating a desktop icon was a piece of cake, but with Ubuntu… Oh my.
