Personally, I have more issues with Windows than I do with Linux. Granted, I know how to troubleshoot either OS, but the implication Windows doesn't have issues is... confusing to me.

I am curious when your last experience with Linux was, and with what distro(s)? As you say, the general Linux experience has gotten better over the years, to the point where I think a non-tech-savvy user would have the same issues on Ubuntu as they do on Windows - which is to say issues they'd have on any OS, because they're not savvy :P

> I'll probably get downvoted for this, if not push-back

Nothing wrong with "push-back"; I'd hope you'd be happy to hear opposing views

This very week I had major issues with both: on my roommate's W11 laptop all her pictures were deleted after I removed them from her OneDrive because she had gotten a warning that her OD was nearly full (so stupid, why try to sync files from a 1TB SSD to a 5GB OD? It's batshit).

The next day I installed OpenSUSE on my PC and couldn't connect to the internet. Eventually I found out that the problem is that the rndis module is blacklisted and AOSP can't use CDC ethernet*, and I can only connect to my internet by using USB tethering with my smartphone.
