    Not knowing how anything works, being scared by errors that you don’t know how to get around or deal with, not knowing alternatives for your former favourite apps to do things quickly, wondering if you get the peripherals you currently own to run?

    naah thanks mate, hard pass.

      Not knowing how anything works

      I mean, that’s how you start learning stuff - not knowing how something works

      Being scared by errors that you don’t know how to get around or deal with

      Isn’t that the case for every OS in existence? When something breaks, you don’t know how to deal with it. Enter google/ddg/whatever

      Not knowing alternatives for your former favourite apps to do things quickly

      See point 1 - and yet there are Linux apps that let you do things quicker than Windows stuff. I can’t imagine myself at this point having to use frigging photoshop to crop or add a border to a image when you could do that with a ´magick -crop´

      Wondering if you get the peripherals you currently own to run?

      Wasn’t that the whole point of live images? Not that they will charge you for downloading them. And hardware support is infinitely better today than back in the day. Just look at what the folks at asahi did - that’s nothing short of incredible

      There’s also the fact that if you have modern hardware, you’ll find that half the features that you paid for don’t work properly in Linux (or at all). It’s a great OS to keep an old PC alive, though.

      I feel like this supporting Windows servers and navigating Win 11/12 clients at work these days.
