    I mean, yes, he should’ve picked a less busy period to test Linux out. But trackpad and wifi issues could come up at any time, which would be troublesome. I’ve gone weeks wihout issues, only to turn my laptop on one day and boom, touchpad doesn’t work. And some days I don’t have my mouse with me to use. And the other issue is Linux is so varied and different that a solution for one person might not work for you. That and lack of proper documentation. I have tried doing crazy shit to fix issues, only to then learn all I had to do was toggle a switch in the settings, but my distro didn’t make it obvious that’s what i should do.

    (This LITERALLY is what happened with my touchpad, for some reason it disabled itself in settings after an update a while ago.)

    People don’t want to spend weekends fixing their tech, and that’s understandable.
