For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code.
And the biggest side effect of this is FUCKING WINDOWS. God I would replace this nightmare OS in a heartbeat if the aforementioned work software would make linux compatible versions. We have legitimately wasted 10k hours dealing with windows bullshit that would not be a problem in linux. Though im sure linux would take a different 10k for its own problems.
What about you guys? Doesn’t have to be work related, thats just the thorn in my side right now.
That is exactly the sort of problem that made my experiences with Linux so awful. I also had very bad interactions with other Linux users when I asked for assistance with fixing the problems I was encountering.
I consider myself decently tech-savvy and I have been building and running Windows machines my entire life, but Linux just feels impenetrable by comparison.
Yes, Linux user can sometimes not be the most welcoming bunch. There is definitely a large subset of Linux user that are what I would call elitists. These people think they are better than others because they use Linux (think “I use arch btw” people). Answers like, “lmao you should already know the answer to the question you are asking” are just not helpful to anyone or anything other than their own ego.
Hey,i would be glad to hear ur problems which u had during linux experience and possibly to solve all of them :)
Thanks for the offer! I don’t use any form of Linux on my desktop at the moment, however, and don’t plan to for the foreseeable future.
