Meh- I’m not a nut about linux, but i do like it for my simple needs- been running mint for a couple of years now, and haven’t had to do anything in the command line- but then again i only use it for browsing Internet, email etc- I’m sure peopel that like to mess with an os would have to use command lines alot- but nope- not me- it just works for what i use it for, and don’t need to mess with it- so far anyways

Do you have an old computer or something? My comp is about 10 years old now or so, but linux just ran right out of the box after updating a few drivers like vid card, and one obscure usb3 driver which admittedly was a pain, but not too difficult- that was the only real issue i’ve had with linux- but like i said, my needs are simple, browsing Internet, and email- Everything just worked right out of the box really- foudn all my hardware, installed automatically the drivers-
When was last time you tried linux? years ago linux was a real pain, and i stopped trying to get it to work- but these days it’s all really automatic- you can burn a CD and try it without installing it if you haven’t tried it in awhile, I would recommend linux mint- really easy flavor-
Not tryign to push you to linux- just curious how long ago you tried it?
