I switched Linux distributions last night and it took maybe 15-30 minutes (including download time) and I've had no issues (once again). I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that crap anymore.

Except that it was totally painless. It just works without an issue. This time it was Garuda, and part after install it ran an assistant where it could install a bunch of other applications for you too. It's incredible how easy the process is compared to Windows.
