      Doing my first linux install on a main PC (after a decade of managing a headless server). Honestly, getting the trackpad to scroll at the right speed has been something of a hobby of mine lately.

        Meanwhile on Windows, you leave everything on default and deal with it.
        For me, Linux isn’t a time sink cause nothing works right out of the box, but because everything can be optimized.

          Linux Mint is really just the easiest for people who want to leave everything on default. If you ever want to get into Linux, I would recommend checking out Mint. Literally anything is better than WIndows.

      most “just works” distros have really intuitive installers though, I’d even say it’s easier than windows, if not for the mandated Microsoft bullshit on all computers by default like secure boot and TPM

      “First boot is so much quicker than Windows!”

      “Wanna talk about the setup that comes after that to get everything working as it should?”

      “Oh no, we don’t talk about that.”

          You could but it takes the fun out of Arch. Okay maybe if your at your tent installation of arch or you already known how Linux works yeah it makes sense but if you want to learn it’s not the most optimal
