This is a huge upside of Linux. When something breaks you can make a web search and learn how to fix it, or that it’s unfixable. On windows you make a search and all you get is this bs and seo article spam
Also - not just when something breaks? Like, you want to change the color of something, an icon, the default response to a key bind or behavior…. There are so many times when I’m forced to use commercial software and there’s some inane extra thing that is messing up my work flow, and there’s no way to change it.
My Arch machine has only the things I want on it. I don’t have to dig into registry keys to disable Cortana or whatever. When I’m running on poverty hardware, dwm/xmonad are bare enough DEs that I can internet browsers smooth and fast.
Linux will let you do whatever you want as long as you are smart/determined to spend hours googling.
Just out of interest. What are some of these unfixable issues?
Usually hardware support
It is not unfixable. The fix includes writing your own drivers.
HDMI 2.1 with AMD for example.
There’s a lot of SEO spam when searching for Linux issues, too.
Nah, arch wiki and forums are good, btw.
