Entirely fair I am a nerd
My experience of Linux has been that it needs a certain amount of tinkering to function properly and my experience of people who make statements about supported configurations is that they are not willing to put up with that
Agree with that windows is a horrible user experience by comparison but it's the most likely to just work and be supportable
I am an obsessive thinkerer. For me thinkering means tewaking you installation, get plugins, run weird scripts to do weird stuff. Wasting time kf real work to fix your wifi is not thinkering, it's just frustrating
Yeah to be fair I agree, I've been having an issue with suspend on my current laptop which I decided to just ignore in the end cause it was frustrating me so much
Though installing other people's random scripts and plugins is a good way to get an unstable broken system
Nixos is great to still be able to fiddle while staying stable given you can just boot an earlier install if you fuck up, also throwaway dev shells with temporary installed packages. Might be worth giving it a go
