While I understand, that is what continues the problem btw. Supporting the company doing what is needed to make a switch to Linux easier is what will take away the problem, for better or worse.

I’ll also note I have regular issues Windows machines and GPUs, honestly its more of a pain in the ass to me. Specifically multi-monitor configs appearing as a single desktop - incredibly easy on Linux, while on windows I have to use Mosaic, and windows updates constantly break those configs. Among quite a few other things, but thats different territory.

I have no qualms about recommending/advocating for Linux, because I know quite well what I can and can’t do with it, as well as how to explain how to set it up to work easily. I have a lot of reservations about Windows use, because it can be such an absolute nightmare in some situations, and unlike Linux, there is no ability for me to fully take control and set things up right the first time.

“Avoiding all that bullshit” is extremely dependent on what bullshit you’re avoiding.
