Personally I haven’t. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it’s whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.
I usually blame this on the hardware manufacturers for being secretive gatekeepy fucks that make things only work with shitty drivers
It’s usually not malicious. Hardware is that way by default, and it takes effort to make it not be that way, and then someone still has to write the driver.
Technically all the info you need is inside the Windows driver, it’s just a bit difficult to get at. It’s on us to git gud so we won’t need the cooperation of the hardware companies.
Ironically, we’re getting into situations where our WiFi card vendor (Ezurio) supports Linux but not Windows.
