    Hard to figure out.

    It’s much easier nowadays. I find Windows much more hard to figure out now that I’ve made the switch. At the very least, everything in Linux takes very few steps to perform tasks and install programs compared to Windows.

    Have to settle for similar but different apps.

    The sooner you do it, the faster you’ll be free. Once you do, you can be confident that said program won’t undergo enshitification since it’s open source. That said some apps can’t be replaced like Photoshop if it’s for work. I like Gimp, but I understand it’s not for everyone.

    Video drivers not built in.

    It pretty much is now if you install an Nvidia specific distro. AMD is preferable of course.

    Inconsistant bluetooth.

    Totally fair.

    Update all breaks everything.

    Use a rolling release distro like Debian or Fedora and you should be fine.

    Linux is not perfect, but it’s better than Windows. Nobody will force you to use your computer in a way you don’t want to. It’s so awesome and it’s free. There is no way I’ll ever go back to Windows. Linux is the ideal OS for so many people (especially those who go the extra mile to modify Windows heavily) they just don’t know it yet.

        Debian has has a branch called Testing where you can get newer features faster ans it’s pretty stable.

        Edit: Oh and Fedora is semi-rolling release, to be fair I wasn’t really clear with this one.
