Mixed opinions on linux
Ive heard about linux a couple if weeks ago and it does all look pretty promising, but there are a lot mixed feelings about it, as far as i can see. The only thing i can say for sure thus far is that it isnt so easy to use unlike other OSs. There is mint, which is supposed to be the most beginner friendly distro but i did see people on r/linuxsucks101 talking trash about it (talking about glitches and various other problems, and not just on mint, they basically criticize linux as a whole. But i also heard that sometimes a problem that can occur isnt always down to linux or the distro itself but on the fact if the computer supports it or something (or the person who installed doesnt even know how to use it). I dont not anything about this im just talking based on the little that i do know or heard, so im asking if anyone can explain to me what could be going on here? Some swear by it, some dread it with all their being. Is it really just down to learning how to use it? If ones computer is the problem (maybe it doesnt have adequate drives or something) how can i know if thats the case with my laptop before installing linux and basically trapping myslef with it?
Maybe this is all written too unorganized or confusing, but thats because thats how i feel about all this, confused and im just willing to learn
