Everything Easy is Hard Again (2018)
The delineation of this argument is what made me switch to Linux. On Windows, things that should have been getting easy were getting harder for me: software management was getting worse, updates were getting worse, and everything that should &quot;just work&quot;, just wouldn&#x27;t. My experience on MacOS was just as bad, with all of the 32-bit apps I used gone in the wind. Now the 64-bit apps are up on the chopping block, and I had to look for other options.<p>The learning curve for Linux was larger than Windows or MacOS, but I only learned the truth. By cutting away abstraction, I can actually understand what my system is doing, and be a better citizen of my operating system. Linux is arranged masterfully, and makes the Windows filesystem look like a joke in comparison. It&#x27;s also faster than any of the Macs I own, with the freedom to plug in a modern Nvidia GPU and play whatever games I want.
