Actually more like a self fulfilling prophesy

IMO many will leave Linux just before finding the fix!

I had tried dual boot but kept going back to windows because i knew how to do things there without having to mess with anything

Its only after i removed windows altogether and only ran Mint, that i was forced to seriously look for solutions. Once you do find them though, you dont need to mess around with anything that much any more

A suggestion for everyone that's kinda new, and to be honest, grizzled vets too... Use chatgpt as a trouble shooting tool. It's really surprising how good it is sometimes. I've had it write bash scripts in minutes, solve obscure Firefox issues, fix game settings for barely compatible games... So many things

Principally not a bad idea, but run a local model while at it!

Not very accessible, in the vast majority of (troubleshooting, nothing private) cases free gpt is the best option (fast, free, openAI training on that chat might even be beneficial to the community). Decent GPU's for LLM are stupid pricey.

I don't really get how that worked. If I was in a group of people arriving to a new and mysterious land and our leader decided to order the ships burned so that we couldn't head back, I'd assume he'd lost his marbles and elect a new leader.

It wasn’t until windows shat itself and I couldn’t boot into it anymore that I took my Linux drive more seriously.
