I'd be willing to try linux again, but the thing that stops me every time is having to go into terminal and start building my f'n software and manually updating or fixing some terminal only setting that is breaking things

I absolutely refuse to use an operating system for casual use that requires daily terminal knowledge and endless googling to remember and use.

It is what it is, but I do enough of this stuff professionally that I want an operating system that works from the second you push the power button with peripherals and software that work instantly after plugging in.

The second I'm digging through old forums looking for some multi-line arcane terminal script to paste to make things work, I boot back into something else and delete the linux partition
