I could also call it the "Linux struggle"
"Windows and Microsoft spy on you, it breaks, it's heavy, its hardware requirements are too hard, windows updates...
you could try Linux, you can even game on it nowadays.
naaah it's too complicated. Anyway, gotta edit the registry to disable a feature"
:(
It IS too complicated tho. I consider myself pretty techy, but my Linux experience, just trying to do basic things like downloading a program, became a long chain of troubleshooting and installations of dependecies and searching online for answers.
Sadly, it got me REAL turned off Linux. I love the concept of it, but at the end of the day, I just want something that works.
Why, are you using Gentoo?
Package management is by far one of the easiest things on Linux, especially with Flatpak, even easier than on Windows that, for comparison, got a package manager only recently and it's still barebones af
As a long time Linux user, I was amazed when the entire tech industry "invented" package management a couple of decades after Linux. Did you know Apple invented the idea of being able to install an app and all its dependencies, signed by a central authority? So much easier than any other OS before it!
Lol, didn't even know about it, well typical Apple behavior ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯
