It just doesn't work. It's a simple as that. Things are constantly breaking. When they do I look up support articles that are written in fucking Klingon and sent to the terminal to type in commands that always return some sort of generic error "command not found" or some shit because the solution is written for a different one of the 862700422 available distros.
I have no idea how to install all the different program types (flathub, db, appimage, etc.). Windows has exe. I click "install" and boom, it's done.
Sometimes I try to remove software in the package manager and it acts like it is uninstalled but it's still fucking there.
I can't even select a file because there are no previews. Just a gazillion blue squares with names like "dlcosn_3947912947".
And other reasons, but I digress. I don't have time to learn a new career, I just want a computer that works.
