Not knowing how anything works, being scared by errors that you don’t know how to get around or deal with, not knowing alternatives for your former favourite apps to do things quickly, wondering if you get the peripherals you currently own to run?
I mean, that’s how you start learning stuff - not knowing how something works
Being scared by errors that you don’t know how to get around or deal with
Isn’t that the case for every OS in existence? When something breaks, you don’t know how to deal with it. Enter google/ddg/whatever
Not knowing alternatives for your former favourite apps to do things quickly
See point 1 - and yet there are Linux apps that let you do things quicker than Windows stuff. I can’t imagine myself at this point having to use frigging photoshop to crop or add a border to a image when you could do that with a ´magick -crop´
Wondering if you get the peripherals you currently own to run?
Wasn’t that the whole point of live images? Not that they will charge you for downloading them. And hardware support is infinitely better today than back in the day. Just look at what the folks at asahi did - that’s nothing short of incredible
My brother in penguin computers, that wasn’t a negative post. I just mentioned all the things to point out that switching OS can be really hard and the first time getting to Linux ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. 😉
Really just needs one problem with some necessity you can’t fix to screw up the whole experience. Doesn’t even have to be Linux’ fault; just thinking about god damn printers…
Oh to be a young lad experiencing linux for the first time again
For higher throughput in middle age, I recommend Edge-ing every so often, and then going back to a real browser.
