I feel like labeling the spots defeats the purpose of “Take one, leave one.”

A tomato probably has too much edge for you…

Wtf happened here?

Honestly the modern Linux experience is largely easy to start these days, but there are pitfalls and traps.

A little more than a year ago I was a complete Linux nooby, but I researched and asked questions before jumping in. Then I jumped in (my first distro was endeavour). I asked questions, read forums, tinkered, then broke my shit.

Then I distro hopped between the popular ones (mint, buntu, etc.) before finally settling on Cachy. There were pains along the way but for my use cases the main learning hurdles were learning the compatibility layers and FOSS software alternatives.

I implore you to tread the beaten path, on a tried and tested distro with an active community. Think about your use case, and which flavor of Linux distro better supports your intentions.

I’ve swapped to linux mostly due to aging hardware and low disposable income. I’m still running A PC that was lower MID a decade ago.

So far its a blast, nothing short of shotty anticheat gets in my way. ProtonDB is a great resource. Wine and the proton layers basically give you parity (and in some cases better performance than windows).

Well yes… And?

What goalpost you potato? What was said basically amounts to “your experience differs because of (completely optional customizations)”

I second Cachy, been running this for almost a year now and nothing major has broken.

This is NOT the way to get people to switch. (Lol)

I have a Surface Pro 7 running EndeavourOS.

Installing was just as simple as installing on desktop. The Linux surface kernel solved some of the non-functional parts (such as touchscreen and auto-rotate). The only thing that doesn’t work are the cameras, but idgaf bout those.

All in all it’s not a terrible experience, but compromises have to be made.
