I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro.

I’m sorry I’m just venting, do you people think Ubuntu will work for me? I think I will try it next.

    @cosmicrookie the intuitive solution to error 0x4f63e78 would be…? Because that’s how Windows issues typically are: no explanation of what has failed, only an hex string

      I’m just saying that if something breaks in windows, i more or less know where i can go and change some setting that may help. I realise that because linux has so many variations, this is not a viable way, but its still a fact that its more complicated for me to solve an issue by myself om linux than or windows, as well as finding a solution for it on the internet. I’m not against linux, it’s just a feedback to the conversation about it, compared to windows

        No offense but this is highly anecdotal. When my Linux systems broke, I’ve always found good leads to solutions on the internet with a good search. On the other hand, every time Windows broke on me, it’s been near impossible to find relevant information as everything is drowned in a sea of basic nonsense, and the built-in tools that were supposed to help me, e.g., revert the system to a previous state, either errored out or did nothing, leaving me only with reinstalling the whole system as an option. Absolute nightmare.

          For me, I guess I needed to find solution to fewer things on windows issues than on Linux issues. Basically anything I wanted changed on Linux needed me to search for a solution. Many of the things I wanted changed on windows, I could do without a search

            It’s exactly the opposite for me. Why? Because I’m just not used to Windows and nothing is where I expect it, or works as I would expect, and a lot of it makes no sense to me. On the other hand, I’ve been daily driving Linux since 2010 and I know what to do for most of the things I want to change in my system.

            It’s literally just a matter of what you’re used to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
