Will linux ever "just work" like macOS?
I don't want to have to reinstall my DE and fix my wifi every week.

Sounds like a (you) problem
EDIT: I don't need to fix my wifi every week. In fact, I've never had to and I've used Linux for over 5 years.

Fuck off linux is full.

>>106621325 (OP)
I've never had to do any of that wtf. I only recently got into Linux though

no

Bot or bait.
Even Debian comes with included non-free firmware these days.

>Will linux ever "just work"
as soon as you stop breaking it, but that requires a little bit of skill so for you, probably never

>>106622231
not for mediatek

>>106622329
Well then install Raspbian or something

>>106621325 (OP)
It would if you didn't break it after reinstalling.

no

Have you been in the coma for the past 30 years?

I’ve never had to fix my wifi. Matter of fact I use WireGuard on top of my wifi with ProtonVPN and I’ve had 0 problems. I can switch to a different server if I’m having speed issues, or just turn off the VPN with the click of a button, and I’ve been using the same Linux Mint install for like 8 months now.

I don't reinstall my de or fix my wifi every week. Not being a fucking retard helps if you want to use Linux. Otherwise pay the dumbass tax.

Distro matters. I’ve used Debian and its derivatives from 2015-2025 with no problems. I got meme’d into trying Arch and Fedora and they break from anything. Laptop battery dies? On a Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/Pop OS machine, it’ll just resume as normal once you have a chance to plug it in. Meanwhile on Fagora and Fartch, this can brick your laptop because of some esoteric LUKS issue that’s “””documented””” on a single forum post that isn’t easily searchable. Neckbeards will say it’s a skill issue, people with things to do will say it’s an OS quality issue.

I’ve heard good things about Hyprland.

>>106626466
works on my machine

>>106621325 (OP)
Linux just werks if you just use it.
Try to do dumb hacker shit and it breaks sure, but thats the same for every OS

No.

Fedora KDE spin just werks bro. Actually would try Fedora KINOite if I wanted just werqsing level 9000 (immutable)

What doesn't just work?

Good time to make the switch to Haiku. It's everything a white man looks for in a desktop OS. It just needs more people developing for it.

>>106621325 (OP)
Never once had to do either of these, so I guess Gentoo has been "just working like macos" for me for almost a decade.

>gnome looks like shit and mostly works
>kde looks like shit and it also mostly works
>macos 26 looks like shit and it mostly works
the only benefit of macos is that it has a bunch of extra software linux will never get, like adobeslop, and that macbooks are best laptops you can buy. The OS itself has been getting worse for a decade now while linux was slowly improving

no

>>106621325 (OP)
No, and that's a *good* thing.

Problem with Linux is that it doesn't excel at anything that's of any real value. It merely exists as a mediocre compromise of every field it could never conquer.

>>106621325 (OP)
It could do that but first it has to stop being linux.
