I think I've booted my windows install maybe two or three times after getting things setup on my Bazzite box, and each time was desperation because I couldn't get something working on a time crunch (like my microphone no longer working before a telehealth appointment) and most of the time it's user error (like the audio profile being switched so the mic wasn't enabled for some reason).

Honestly, the only complaint I have is that periodically flat/snap apps (idr offhand) don't want to open and I have to reboot a couple times before they do. Can't say the same for my windows installs....

Yep. I've been during linux as my main desktop for maybe a year or two now, and it's been fine. I don't tinker with it. Most things just work.

The only thing that's been a little dicey is mods for games, but I think I just need to figure out how like wine and proton prefixes work. It's probably not hard, I just haven't had a need lately.

~~Why are these mainstream media journalists going out of their way to make Linux work and look harder than it is?~~

~~You don't need to open the terminal to install software or configure anything, that's literally the whole point of every big DE that ships well made GUI apps.~~

He solved his problem by switching off of Ubuntu to Fedora, I think I almost shed a tear lmao

I did the same but I cannot replace it. Half of my devices are not working.
