> 1. If you don't encounter any trouble daily driving GNU/Linux, that is actually a sign of inexperience. That or you're doing nothing interesting.

There are 3 type of person who knows a lot about cars:

1. A Car mechanic 2. People who love cars, and tinker them constantly 3. People who have a shitty car and something always breaks.

Personally I'm not a car guy, I treat them as tools. I can do this because I always had a reliable car. I have a friend who once mocked me for my inexperience. I had to reminding him why he knew so much about cars. He was a Type 3 guy. No a shitty car tho, but something always broke on it anyway.

So getting back to you, can we just have something Works? Is that a high bar?

My point here is that if you use Linux enough, then you will encounter issues, period, regardless of your technical level.
And if you use Windows enough, particlarly 10 or 11, you will encounter issues as well.
Just less frequently. Also, we should agree on what those "issues" are, really. Beside the lack of popular commercial applications on Linux, the existing, open source variants, are often inferior if not frustrating.
We disagree strongly then.
The same thing is true if you use a pencil enough. The question is whether you run into issues significantly more often than the commercial alternatives.
