I thought I’d try it again this year and immediately sleep was totally broken (would remake instantly to a glitched grey screen), and when I updated my release (Ubuntu) it broke my graphics drivers silently on a way that took me nearly 3 hours to “kinda” fix, with terminal commands. And I’m a software developer as a professional who’s used unix based systems for years.
I’ve long ago accepted that my dev machine will stay a Mac and my gaming rig will stay windows for the foreseeable future. Every 5 years or so I try Linux again and it’s the same deal.
Nothing screams "Linux desktop" quite like a custom terminal command to manually manage your CPU cores being presented as a solution for longer battery life.
As a two and a half decade user of Linux desktops, this comment is spot on.
That said, at work I'm using a Windows desktop for the first time in over 15 years. There are so many places I'd like to run scripts to improve this thing. i have come to the conclusion that running scripts to fix small annoyances is a feature of those who are drawn to Linux, not a shortcoming of KDE or Gnome. I'd do the same if it were even possible on this (locked down corporate) Windows box.
