i think the distros that “just work” are a great way to get into linux, but i do still think it’s something that you need to familiarize yourself with. It’s like driving a car, if you want to go somewhere in the US, you’re gonna need to know how to do it.
True. But by the same token, if you attain a similarly high level of knowledge about Windows, you can do much of the same stuff. Including debloating it.
I mainly say this because I would love nothing more than swapping my relatives machines to Linux, but when something breaks it can be BAD and they are missing that basic background thst 3+ decades on Windows has earned them.
