Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There’s always software I can’t use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages… last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.
I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?
You are definitely doing something wrong.
Yes, installing through official media and doing sudo apt-get upgrade, the horror.
Pointing out a bug that has been around for less than a few days and will be fixed shortly does not refute the above statement.
It was still unfixed as of yesterday. That’s how I found it out. I installed debian and was like huh. I can’t update.
That is a one-off situation. I might be losing my patience with the amount of ignorance in these types of threads but if you honestly believe that Windows is a more stable OS than Linux, you’re objectively wrong. Period.
Do you think Windows doesn’t have one-off issues with updates? Microsoft delivered an update in 2018 that literally deleted user files in home directories. And a simple Google search will inform you of the Windows updates that have broken userspace multiple times since then and before then.
