     also lol @ "I just use another program for that"
     noticing a concerning trend here with linux stuff. When I'm routinely looking for solutions to basic software functions, the most common fix is "just download this other thing that does that."

     @Wormwood I've almost entirely given up on linux. Things like:
     
     -Printing labels
     -printing 8.5x11 sheets of text
     -burning cds
     -exporting 4k HDR video
     -copying files
     
     have ALL required me to try multiple programs, libraries, workarounds while robbing me of hours of my free time. I don't have the patience for it. Every time it's out to find threads and read error codes, which are only sometimes fixable anyways. Sometimes it's "oh yeah you should just use windows for that" but most of the time it's "uh well it shouldn't do that, IDK what that is"
     
     It's like how car guys balk when normies don't want to spend time rotating tires and changing oil. If it's not your hobby it's not the least bit rewarding or fun, it's just theft of lifespan for FOSS' sake

     Linux is neat, but it's not a finished product and never will be. In a similar vein; I don't go with an iPhone because I love apple, but because I hate the "android experience". Not losing basic function or having perfectly working programs break after an update is kinda a big deal.

     @Christmas_Man @WashedOutGundamPilot @Wormwood After dealing with hack scripts and endless configuration options in Linux and related for so long, it's frustrating when I try to use the "finished products" in Mac and Windows because they do everything except what I want them to do.

     @EvilSandmich @Wormwood I got it to work against all advice, it looked like it wouldn't but after 4 aborted discs where it just stopped after 7 tracks one magically worked and I haven't touched it since

     That's part of what bothers me, linux is made for the kludge, it's a system that only works for the enthusiast who WANTS to learn and recall everything backwards and forwards - but absolutely not the computer you grab when you "just need to print this off before heading out to work real quick"
