I gave Linux another shot this past month. It was a lot better than I remembered, but still not good enough, basically in the reliability areas. I wish the experience was “it all just works” like so many have said.

I may not mind giving it another try when Windows Recall goes live.

Sounds like you're willing to forgive a mountain of bullshit for windows but nothing for a non corporate os

Priority one is having a working computer. Priority two is evading future spyware.

Priority three is using an OS where seeking support for issues doesn’t produce the reply “Sounds like you fucked something up, idiot, because it works perfectly for me!”

I've received that reply too many times and can understand why it turns people away. I got lucky and eventually got someone more willing to actually help and been dual booting since.

I didn't call you an idiot. I just implied you're looking for reasons to avoid change. Which sounds doubly true after this comment.
