My favorite is when someone tells me that they are too old to learn about new technology, or that they can’t use a device because they aren’t very tech-y. No, you just refuse to learn.

    It works out of the box - if you do nothing at all to it and just browse.

    But to do anything like getting all of your favorite programs, that’s going to take effort.

      Though the Application “Store fronts” have come a long way in helping the newbies get rolling.

      With older hardware sure. I largely have a flawless experience with anything 10 years old or older. And as long as it’s simple anything 5 years old works perfectly too.

      But somehow my 5 year old network card is basically unusable on Linux unless I disable 6ghz WiFi.

      Not even. I need custom scripts for audio, can’t turn my display off and on I need to pull the HDMI cable, and Bluetooth is basically unusable.

        Bluetooth Linux sucks ass. No one can solve my Bluetooth issue and I’m using a good tp link dongle and updated kernel and keep getting skipping randomly over Bluetooth. So bad.
