I have been using Linux for work and my home server for around 20 years.For my personal computing I have been using windows and MacOS.

Every now and then I get my hopes up that the year of Linux is finally here and I install the latest.

I have a simple heuristic. If in the first day of setting up the system I am required to fire up the terminal, it means that more pain is coming in the future, so I immediately delete the Linux partition.

I am still using just windows and macos for my personal computing needs.

This is exactly my litmus test. The requirement to touch the CLI indicates little thought for the UX or care for users who don't want to use the CLI. Every year I boot up another flavour of Linux and every year it fails this test. Linux is built by developers, for developers. That's fine, but let's be honest about it.

So you're no longer reality checking this prediction? What are the reasons for firing up the terminal? Config file editing? Or something more serious?

last time for me was the audio was glitching which never happened on pc. i think the solution had something to do with changing the audio sampling rate fixed it.
