Windows sucks donkey balls for sure. Between shoving AI down your throat and indeed also messing up things or weird ass issues it’s a shit fest too. But my point is that people are more adjusted to it and there’s more resources to fix the issue. And in my experience it’s less of a OS breaking experience.

Sticking to it is harder and involves relearning most of your activities in a new context.

True. That’s already a speedbump in the road. But that’s to be expected when switching to a different OS.

I suppose it’s curious that you don’t mention anything about your troubleshooting attempts. Beyond your rollbacks in hopes of resolving the issue*. If you don’t like/want to (learn to) troubleshoot, then reconsider if CachyOS is your home.

Troubleshooting is no issue. But not having a picture does not help lol. Perhaps using a live USB might fix it. But then again, that probably involves messing with kernel settings or whatever. Seems quite involved for a simple update…

This isn’t recognizable to me. Would you be so kind to clarify/elaborate? Perhaps with an example even?

Depends. I had issues with Bluetooth chips. That’s the fault of the manufacturer, not Linux but still. My Xbox controller was difficult to connect at times. I’ve had installs with audio issues or difficulties playing games because Lutris or Bottles wouldn’t work…

Lol under Windows you can reboot during an upgrade. Failing to provide a picture after not rebooting is just dumb. Either force me to reboot or perhaps don’t allow sleep after an update…

Totally agree with Kichae. Adding to that I’d argue it’s easier for windows since more people use it so there’s more resources. Also, Windows is just a single way of doing things. There’s a difference between distros so a fix for Ubuntu might not work for Arch. Of course windows has it’s (huge) flaws and not everything works perfectly. There’s a reason I switched. But Linux in my experience breaks in a bigger way in my personal experience.

CachyOS has a handy kernel tool which let’s you select what kernel you’d like to run. You can try and play with that.

Brain: I have altered the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further
