i feel like everyone who uses linux has like 4 or 5 issues they just live with and don't care enough to try to fix. and no two people have any issues in common.
the one person who blobfoxsignno reacted this be like
There are no bugs on GNU/Linux.

this post was not about windows. but sure. let's include windows in the picture.

if there's an issue on windows for something it claims to support, it's either borked on just about everyone's windows machine and gets patched pretty quick, or it's because windows randomly ate part of itself, which it has a habit of doing for whatever reason. dism sfc and on rare occasion a registry cleaner can usually take care of that. the user generally does not get blamed for this.

if there's an issue on linux for something it claims to support, most of the time it's due to a misconfiguration the user never even knew they had to take care of. or a bug with a workaround. if these are documented they're buried in a wiki somewhere, forum comments, git issues or a reddit thread, often deleted. generally the user gets blamed for not finding this.

@ezra when I first installed linux mint about a year ago, i experienced this. firefox was stuttering like crazy. i scoured the forums, i scoured reddit, I asked... why is it lagging?? "did you enable video acceleration" "did you enable graphics acceleration"... nothing fixed it. flatpak, native deb version, nothing worked.

then I installed endeavourOS. That fixed it. i use fedora now, firefox still works fine there. to this day, i still have zero clue why firefox specifically was so bad on mint.

and whenever someone recommends mint to a newcomer, I always roll my eyes because trying to fix that issue was 100x more complicated than the other options.
