    It really is amazing how I can mess up Linux installs for the weirdest of reasons.

    Install arch from scratch on a laptop? Now it either doesn't go to sleep when you close the laptop or a kernel panick.

    Manjaro? Edited the config for the touchpad (of course it's a random config file that you have to change line by line and read 3 wiki pages for, because Linux) because it doesn't feel like windows and ran updates from the built in manager within the os. Now it doesn't boot at all and causes the boot logo to ghost while using windows 10 installed on another partition.

    Pop_os? Worked mostly fine, used it for months, broke it only once when using the built in package manager somehow fixed it, but stopped using that laptop and now I can't boot into it at all.

    Not to mention all of the software that partially doesn't work or work at all. Like, my personal choice for image editing is paint.net, it's not a useless meme like MS Paint, but also isn't the equivalent of using a bucket wheel excavator for digging a hole in your backyard like Gimp. It also doesn't work on Linux at all
