In a world where nothing seems to work anymore, especially anything related to tech and/or customer service, getting on my laptop running Linux Mint just feels like a breath of fresh air. And that goes for just about any distro. It’s nice to have something that works as it should and doesn’t seem to go out of its way to cause frustration and irritation.
(P.S. Loblaw’s/PC Express suck ass. Canadians will know what I’m talking about).
Really depends on distro/use case/luck. I’ve had quite a few years without any issues, more with minimal and very rare irritations. The day-to-day experience continues is pleasant.
The few months have been somewhat more frustrating for me, and once I have a bit more leisure time I’ll switch distro to something that hopefully works better for me.
