    So I switched to Linux a couple of weeks ago, got fedora set up, connected to WiFi and then set up proprietary Nvidia drivers. It wanted to reboot to so whatever is needed with secure boot.

    When it came back I couldn’t use the internet or get it to connect again.

    I’m a software engineer and a massive nerd. It ain’t as easy as just switch and problem solved.

    Now it did get me interested in setting it up again with Arch, but let’s not pretend Linux is anywhere near as user friendly as MacOS or Windows. It is for nerds and will always be that way because it doesn’t just work out of the box.

    Kinda sick of seeing all the disingenuous arguments that are pro Linux.

      neither fedora nor arch are ever seriously recommended as a beginner linux distribution though…
