You have to boot without network access then do the terminal command.

What distro of Linux did you use that was so difficult? Something like Mint is very entry level and intuitive. You don't have to run any terminal commands if you don't want to, and the out of box configuration is good enough that you don't have to modify anything for a stable, up to date system.

    Mint requires running a terminal command to disable the stupid printer notification.

    It also doesn't support Logitech mice out of the box, you have to search for the solution, which is a third party app to support a 10 year old (or brand new) mouse.

    Stop acting like it's a direct swap and people will be less hesitant to switch.

    Be open and honest that not everything is an easy transition, there will be hiccups, and there may be some things for which an easy solution simply doesn't exist.

    If you use Excel every day, switching is likely not pragmatic, as the OSS solutions simply don't compare yet and will always fall short if you use tables (about 90% of the spreadsheets I've ever been sent).

    Also, did you even listen to OP? Linux isn't an option. Wow.

    What do you mean by "support" here? I'm pretty sure Logitech mice will work fine, but you might need a tool to change on-device settings.

    100%.

    Logitech mice work fine out of the box as a generic mouse. You only need third party software if you want to mess around with the Logitech special-sauce stuff.

    Neither Windows or Mac have 'support' for that either, until you install Logitech's software. Of course, Logitech as a company don't provide any software for Linux.

    So if anything, it's not that "Linux doesn't support Logitech" it's that Logitech doesn't Support Linux.
