I'd like to start this thread by saying I am in no way taking sides between operating systems and I, a Windows user, has recently switched to Linux Mint. So any of the things I say against Linux, I'm technically making fun of myself because I have, for good, decided to switch to Linux.
The reason I'm creating this thread is: I want to know if there will be an end to this nightmare... or will I literally have to sell my soul to the linux devil to be able to install software without spending 2 hours of googling/updating repositories/troubleshooting/etc.
Yes, the rage is real.
This is my first week on Linux - and gee...
Its been.. a very rough experience.
But I shall keep going through this path...
Whenever I run into a problem on Linux, my algorithm of moves is like:
1. Linux course (you should have not initially been in this situation if you had a systematic education)
2. Googling/Youtubing (and entering random sh*t into the terminal that people say, which might not only have had a different context, but might cause some serious damage to the Linux machine)
3. Posting the question on Forums (linux.org btw, is one of the most helpful forums I have recieved support from)
The result is that, any kind of problem I run into - takes around 2-3 hours of solving in the best case. In the worst, I go sleep depressed and tired - and all my usual computer jobs that I do are not even begun yet.
I was just wondering,
As you get more advanced in Linux - are you able to solve some very random problems such as "Dependency Is Not satisfiable" via some systematic method without the need to google/forum ask?
Or do Linux users generally have no life and like to read and type a lot.
