Great way to create future technologist or someone who will seamless use powertools to amplify whatever else they choose to do in life.

Still this is the crux of the linux experience and why I still don't main it - having to read logs to understand why an Xbox controller doesn't work.

Or a million other things like this. Sure it keeps getting better, by a lot. But the number of rough edge cases still is an issue every time I try out lonux again after lots of people tell me "Today Linux is different" - they always tell me and I always find, no it's still a thing you will still need to go spelunking in tech wizardry to do things that mostly just works on some other mainstream OS, like macos or even windows.

The little things are still the problem agreed.

For example, I have an AMD Radeon 6600 RX. Works great under Windows. Under Linux - and I've tried multiple distros - it's entirely unusable. The screen just flashes. I don't understand.
