Sometimes manpages are frustrating as hell because there are no examples. They read more like the developer making notes for themselves who is already intricately familiar with the program on how it works, rather than teaching someone to use the program.
So many times I’m shaking me head, like please show me an example of a syntactically correct command, what is wrong with you!!
I was no fan of Ubuntu. It made me think about the OS nonstop.
Why is Firefox taking like 8 seconds to load the first time I run it? Much slower than Windows.
Why do all of my PPA packages break for months straight after a major OS update?
Why is my CPU using 100% of a core when I connect my Xbox controller? Turns out that was a bug in libusb that had been fixed OVER A YEAR AGO but Ubuntu’s packages were so terribly out of date I couldn’t have the fix yet. That was the last straw.
Moved to OpenSUSE and never looked back. My system is basically pristine now.
