I don't know how you post these threads knowing the same group of people are going to jump on it every time and claim how the average user could never use Linux. It would drive me crazy.

Some peripherals like printers can be an issue but that's when you shop for something compatible just like Mac users had to do for a long time and still have to watch out for. Doesn't help that the manufacturers come out with new models every few years that don't actually do anything new but need new drivers.

I've been using various flavors of Ubuntu for 15 years and do more than most users.

Did this with GIMP which people say is unusable. (family pic for a genealogy website I made)

Look what people are creating with Krita, a KDE program, https://krita-artists.org/c/artwork/5/l/top

I'm a patient man.

Also, I would like to see real conservatives put their money where their mouth is, and leave the leftist, communist organization that is Microsoft. Yes, I do understand that some Linux developers/distros are not much better, but I am not giving them any financial support.
