Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There’s always software I can’t use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages… last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.

I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?

    You can set it up so that it doesn’t require a password, but of course it isn’t a good practice. I was using a Fedora distro on one of my laptops that didn’t ask for a password out of the box. You needed a pw to log in but not for updates. It made me uneasy.

      Yeah, I didn’t even get to say that I could change it (though I don’t recommend it) before she wanted to throw the whole thing out for not being “user friendly” enough.
