“True BUT- you need to be a geek to understand it and know how to use a terminal to fix things with code- aint easy- linux’s forums are great places to find info- but again- a lot of it is over my head- This is the one thing that intimates most people about linux-”
Know what I have found Bob? There are a lot of sources now that just lay it out in simple copy and paste format steps for you. The only time I had a technical adjustment was when I had to set custom values for my fan monitored temp variables because of my unique situation and slight heating issues. But... having that ability to custom adjust these values cured a common HP heating issue that all of these laptops had from the factory. This customization would have been much harder to do in Windows than it was with linux. :)
Yep- many do that now which is a big help- but finding out which lines of code you need for a specific problem can be daunting though- not for everything- some htigns are easy- but some issue solutions are quite confusing-
Had a ‘Xorg’ issue (on an update once) that was really difficult to figure out- it would do some really weird things on boot- I never did get it figured out- tried a bunch of command lines- course not knowing what i was doing i likely made things worse-
