This is linux times ten. I use it all the time, but as soon as you have a problem even remotely outside the norm you’re screwed unless you’re steeped in knowledge for the particular distro you work with. Your quest for an answer will result in: 2-3 other people with the same question, but no responses. A half dozen answers for your problem yet a distro version for which the answer no longer works. A couple lengthy, well-thought out answers that require multiple terminal entries and dependency installations yet still doesn’t work after carefully following the instructions.
./configure not found.
Installs configure.
Still doesn’t work.
Anyway, lol, as much as I like linux and have a crapload of instances running, it sure is a pain in the ass.
Been on linux full time for under a week, I’d say linux is more like.
“I have issue”
“Here’s 10 extremely techincal solutions that will take you hours to work through and may not work”
“I still have issue”
“Oh yeh there’s just a button you can press that fixes it instantly”
On the bright side thats more my own lack of familiarity than anything and once an issue is fixed it stays fixed and generally works a lot more cleanly than if I had a similar issue on windows where fixes are always kind of cludgey.
