I’m a fairly savvy computer user and its always looked like a hassle to me. Maybe I’m just lazy and dont want to put the effort into learning it, but MS practices with windows lately are really pushing me into finally doing it.
The hassle is the price of having more control over what's happening inside your computer. Some people don't want to care about that, and for those people, Absolutely it's too much of a hassle.
I think the controversial opinion isn't whether or not Linux is more hassle than Windows or Mac (it is...of course it is), but whether or not that hassle is worth it. Does the extra control over your computer outweigh the few extra things you need to do to keep it running right.
For me, the answer is yes. I don't find having to be a little extra careful about some precautions before hitting the update button a huge inconvenience, or working through the occasional glitch when an AUR package upgrades past its dependencies.
But would that be too much hassle for someone like my mother, for example, who literally just wants to play games on Facebook? Of course. And there's nothing wrong with thinking that.
Makes sense. Thats about where I’m at. The hassle is worth not having AI sifting through all my personal files and logging every fucking thing I do
Maybe one day you just buy another SSD and give it a try on there... Thats how I did it 2 years ago and I couldnt have guessed how much it would eventually, over time, become worth it to me.
I initially installed PopOS but it worked so well that after 2 weeks I though to myself, "well this is boring, I installed it and now what?" and proceeded to try Arch (unsuccesfully at the time).
