    I tried switching to Linux twice and both times I got hit with problems I was unable to fix even with help. So, even though I hate Microsoft, I’ll stick with Windows for now.

      Third time’s a charm.

      It’s wild to me how difficult switching can be when so many devices come with Linux and people don’t even think about it.

      The Steamdeck is more stable than any windows gaming PC I’ve had; Android phones are rock solid, less prone to issues than a PC; Chromebooks work forever without getting malware, and receive updates for more than a decade; but try to DIY it and you’re in the fire swamp of driver issues.

      Have you tried Mint? It usually just works. Atomic distros are also looking pretty promising, they’re so stable and recoverable.
