My experience with Linux is mostly "I need to do "thing". Spend like 10 minutes searching for how to do thing. Find the app that does it. Spend another 10 minutes figuring out how to navigate the UI. Try to do thing. There's some error due to the file being on a network share, or another package needs to be installed or it only works if you do it in one particular unintuitive way the developers came up with. Spend another 20 minutes to 3 hours looking online and trying to decipher documentation and trying shit to get it working. Probably about 50% successful overall.

I do not find it "Fun" the only reason I'm trying is because of the rate Windows is also breaking shit I do. Really just hating dealing with computers at all these days.

My experience is just saying "Yeah I don't need this anyways" to anything that doesn't work and i can't / don't want to fix.
