Full time linux user for 8 years now. The knowledge base of discussion around Linux issues is vast and usually has the answers you need. Albeit with the variety of distros and their differences you must be mote scrutable in identifying what is applicable to your situation. Stick with mainstream like Ubuntu and you will have tons of community support and knowledge to search through.

Until your machine goes into a coma when you close the lid. On mainstream Ubuntu.

This shit still happens today.

Windows 11 randomly crashes the taskbar after resuming my SO's notebook, something expected under the ugly KDE4 alpha days (and the alphas for KDE3 with kicker).

But KDE at least recovered kicker (the panel) over after a message. Windows 11 shows up nothing.

That happens on Windows as well.

Twice in 1 year I've had my bootloader entry just disappear after a reboot. No idea what happened. Wasn't tied to any particular update either.

If I were non-technical, it would ruin my week.
