I’ve been “Linux-adjacent” for years, and recently switched my main gaming computer over to it. And I’ve seen exactly those frustrations so many times.
The good AND bad part about user-managed software is that the developer-users decide how things work, then things stay that way until other developer-users do things differently.
My most recent frustration? Drive automounting on boot.
On Windows or Mac, all physical drives mount when the system boots up.
On most, but all, varieties of Linux, it seems ONLY the system drive is mounted.
This gave me trouble when I tried to set a second drive as the default location for Steam.
Every time I rebooted, the Steam client forgot that I had a second hard drive. I didn’t realize why, because in system settings I told the computer to mount all drives on boot.
But. But.
By default, Bazzite seems to set secondary drives as external, rather than internal. Spork knows why.
So I had to sift through forum posts until I discovered that the internal drive was being seen as external. Then I had to figure out the combination of partition management tools and console commands to tell the system to mount the drive as an internal drive, rather than external.
It now works perfectly - after over an hour of research and a couple days of frustration.
There are two problems: 1. An extremely basic thing doesn’t work the way the majority of users expect it to, and 2. A majority of developer-users apparently think it works fine as it is and doesn’t need to be changed.
So I feel your pain. I’d rather be using Linux now for gaming and for my 3D printing related hobbies.
But for my day job, I’m on PC or Mac. I have to be, because I can’t stop working for two hours while I troubleshoot and find a solution to an obscure problem.
Several distros have those kinds of utilities built in.
Synaptics Package Manager comes preinstalled in lots of Debian derivatives.
Manjaro, Bazzite, and Endeavour have their own bespoke update managers. (Others do, as well, but those are the three non-Debians I’ve used most recently.)
I like how they make up a phony benefit to try to make it seem like you’ll get something out of it.
Counterpoint: LibreWolf’s defaults are one of its main selling points.
That fundamentally misses the point of the song.
99% of people who say they’re being “devil’s advocate” are actually, in fact, just being assholes
No, because I don’t think about her at all.

I mean, Manjaro wasthe first distro I truly used regularly.
But I’m no stranger to command lines, so there’s that.
A small island nation to crush beneath the heel of your boot.
Or, if you don’t have boots, you can ask for those.
I don’t say anything, but I block people who do that.
Don’t worry, it’s really easy to add people to block lists. I add people, communities, even whole instances every day!
That said, you amuse me so I won’t be blocking you. Therefore, you have failed.
Why was the research left in the hot springs?
It really depends on the kind of convenience.
Some conveniences are easier to give up, especially if giving them up will benefit others.
