I'm a pleb, barely literate in computers, just pretty okay at finding things I need on Google and blindly copying commands. Like I'm obviously extremely tech literate by the standards of the wider world solely by virtue of having a home server that runs things I use, but it's still using unraid because I'm an idiot who needs a helpful community space and forum so I can search how to fix problems confident that other idiots have also broken the thing the same way I did and I will find step by step directions on how to unfuck it

All that said, when it came time for my roughly annual reinstall of Windows just to clear house, they threw up an ad for Windows 11 and it pissed me off so bad I googled "gaming Linux", made a bootable USB of Garuda (I like the bird logo and didn't know what "Arch-based" meant except that it would make me a superior human) and within 15 minutes of getting mad I was installing, and it's just worked out of the box since

I think that's enough for most of things, really. I'm supposed to be a power user, but I just do the same: google whenever I need to do something
