I'm about to ditch full-time Linux.
It's the little things honestly. Display resolution goes nuts when connecting or disconnecting from external displays, Bluetooth headphones suddenly aren't found anymore. I spend hours trying to fix things but often get nowhere. I love the environment, but there's just not enough convenience that I used to get with Mac or windows. This morning, pop os that I've been using for months updated and then wifi && ethernet didn't work. So I decided maybe I would switch to Mint since it's got more support. Internet works but same Bluetooth and display problems. Idk.
Someone talk me off of this ledge.

This is exactly the problem with Linux: You don't know how long an action will take. Maybe it will work instantly but maybe you will have to spent the next hour searching online for the proper driver. And that's the reason I'm still with Windows. But it's also exactly why many coders use it. Coding is exactly the same, you can rarely predict how long something will take. And while I think that while having to deal with inconsistency in coding I at least want my OS to work flawlessly others are proud to fix their OS if it doesn't work. Because that's the thing with Linux (just like with coding): if you stick to the problem long enough you will find a solution eventually!
As I said, I like coding but not repairing my operating system but to each their own, I guess...

@julkali I mean it took me over a month to figure out my Bluetooth issues but once I had it working I felt really great. But you don't get that issue on Mac or Windows.

If I were to leave my Linux environment I would have to go to macOS. I'm so used to working in a Unix-like environment that I couldn't settle for a hybrid or a vm.

@Lilithium so I just installed Fedora. THANK YOU. It already behaves better than the other OSs I've tried on this computer. Wow.

@lordmirziteh What distro were you on before switching to Fedora?

@starrynights89 pop_os.

@lordmirziteh And I thought that was a really stable distro for devs. What the hell.

I have wasted time before. Now, I just traded money for time. Bought a Mac (because needed for work) and it works flawlessly and intuitively. It just f-ing works and now I can focus on my work! We have a high-end Windows PC at home too and it gets the jobs done. Convenience matters for some developers like me.

I have never faced any of these problems. "That's The problem with Linux"says someone. Well it isn't. It might be for you, but really you shouldn't generalize based on your personal experience

@shaji well then the problem is inconsistencies in user experience.

@Lilithium This. (except that I'm not a Linux dev)

I've been using quite some distro's over about 8 years now (fully ditched windows 8 years ago after I was fed up with the crashes and closedness) and it has nearly always ran very stable (moments it wasn't stable were cause by me fucking it over).

I couldn't ever switch to windows (or mac, for that matter) solely due to its closed nature which I find both morally/ethically wrong and a danger to privacy and security.

To clarify; not shitting on anyone using any system at all and definitely not on the OR, just sharing my view with the person mentioned :)

UPDATE:: Fedora has brought me back from the edge.
