  • If I’m being completely honest, it sounds like you hit a problem and then just kinda gave up (I’m not trying to sound mean or anything - please don’t take it that way).

    Not having a display output made me feel like I’d need a live USB and fix it with root which is often to always quite involved. Thank you for your detailed guide. That’s part of why I love the Linux community. There’s often to always someone knowledgeable that has a solution. I will try this later!

    Sticking to it is harder and involves relearning most of your activities in a new context.

    True. That’s already a speedbump in the road. But that’s to be expected when switching to a different OS.

    I suppose it’s curious that you don’t mention anything about your troubleshooting attempts. Beyond your rollbacks in hopes of resolving the issue*. If you don’t like/want to (learn to) troubleshoot, then reconsider if CachyOS is your home.

    Troubleshooting is no issue. But not having a picture does not help lol. Perhaps using a live USB might fix it. But then again, that probably involves messing with kernel settings or whatever. Seems quite involved for a simple update…

    This isn’t recognizable to me. Would you be so kind to clarify/elaborate? Perhaps with an example even?

    Depends. I had issues with Bluetooth chips. That’s the fault of the manufacturer, not Linux but still. My Xbox controller was difficult to connect at times. I’ve had installs with audio issues or difficulties playing games because Lutris or Bottles wouldn’t work…

    Totally agree with Kichae. Adding to that I’d argue it’s easier for windows since more people use it so there’s more resources. Also, Windows is just a single way of doing things. There’s a difference between distros so a fix for Ubuntu might not work for Arch. Of course windows has it’s (huge) flaws and not everything works perfectly. There’s a reason I switched. But Linux in my experience breaks in a bigger way in my personal experience.
