I went back to Linux and it was a mistake

TL;DR

  • The author switched from Windows to Ubuntu on a Dell XPS laptop, expecting a more stable and distraction-free experience.
  • Despite Ubuntu's improvements, the author faced issues with fingerprint reader, update installation (EFI partition problem), and mounting Windows partitions.
  • Software installation proved difficult, with some applications failing to install without using the terminal, and Steam took hours to set up with compatibility issues.
  • While Linux can now perform many tasks, the author found that dedicated applications on macOS and Windows offered a more seamless and powerful experience for music production and photo editing.
  • The author concluded that while Linux has evolved, it still requires too much tinkering and troubleshooting for their needs, preferring systems that 'just work'.
