No recues in two years since I booted it the first time. Shit's smooth on different hardware without any fiddling. Windows taught me good to be a bit more cautious and curious, so with a system that doesn't explicitly fight me or wants to do thing behind my back, I feel way safer than before. Like, I started to regularly seek new updates via yay, it's something you don't hear from a windows boy. Minus one year on Mint that borked itself on update a couple of times, I had no previous Linux expirience.

    Doesn't it normally do the opposite for most people?

    Almost guaranteed it does, especially if you can throw money at the problem, but a combination of general annoyance && subpar hardware && wish to play heavier games and launch heavier apps has a diceroll chance of pushing a person into inspecting what's going on under the hood. With w11 being itself and hardware prices skyrocketing, I hope many would get as angry as I am to get into that. Upgrading to a new laptop for the same price as the old one was never a worse decision that it is now.
