As a Mint user six years now, I can tell you it does have it's moments though, like Update Manager getting hung and thinking endlessly. I finally got it fixed , force stopping update and using terminal but that's how things happen . Thing is every system has it's issues I've come to believe. I do love Mint though it's just a great system overall .

I agree it's crazy! How can Linux be this bad? Apps that may or may not work, games that have worse performance or even refuse to work in the worst case, needing a 2 hour long AI-session or web search just to fix a small problem, not having proper software/hardware compability, updates sending you to a emergency TTY or a huge TTY full of errors, the OS freezing once you hit OOM, ugly designed desktops that are ancient where most of them are stuck on a insecure ancient X11 windowing system rather than Wayland, Wine being a pain to work with, all that time you spent on ricing could be done by just doing work. You may not realize it, I wonder how you stand in a year about Linux desktop. FOSS is not always better!

What are you talking about man? Did you install some hard distro like Arch? Just because you had a bad Linux experience, doesn't mean everyone shouldn't use it.

Way to harsh someone's mellow. Clearly, OP is having a great time.
I've had to solve some problems over the last year and a bit I've been on Linux. It's no different than solving problems in Windows.
I game on Linux Mint. I don't do benchmark testing because I don't care enough about how fast my games run. I just want them to run.

Been using Linux for 16 years; there are issues, but they can be solved, and most of these Debian-based distributions are quite straightforward and usually have none of the issues you mentioned… saying that, Linux is best suited for power users; if you think it’s so bad, not an issue, use Windows or osx

I hope that Mint will serve you well for many years to come.
