Switch to Linux!

"Never Crashes", "Runs like Lightning on new machines" Am I doing this wrong? I tried Ubuntu, Zorin OS, Linux Mint- I get crashes and errors which doesn't explain what the error is, instead shows some code lines. Runs like Lightning on new machines- In my 13600K build, Windows 11 feels noticeably faster, and I'm able to use all my onboard stuff like Optical Audio Out, WiFI 6 connects to 5GHz properly, unlike Linuxmint. I think I lack the technical expertise to run linux. I have been building PCs for like 20 years now.
This is my experience.
It's fine, but always glitchy niggly things.
Wild guess, Nvidia GPU?
6750 XT.
I know this will usually draw the ire of more experienced users (yes I use Arch btw) but if you really want an install that is as hands-off and foolproof as possible you are generally gonna be better off with an Ubuntu distro.
I put Kubuntu on PCs for beginners/noobs because it gives them access to more advanced options if they need them in the future while also typically being fully functional out of the box.
Ubuntu distros typically have extensive hardware support and a lot of testing. Yeah it's not going to be the most cutting-edge but you don't want that, you want it to "just work"
Linux is tough man
you probably are doing it wrong ;)
the problem is cutting edge devices where vendors only publish windows drivers - often friendly hackers have to develop their own drivers to make your stuff work. for users with such hardware the free software experience is often sub-par and they probably won't try it anytime soon. but for everyone else, casual i-only-browse-text-and-watch-videos-on-my-rather-standard-build-users will usually find ad-free, smoothly running no-bullshit (or depending on the distro maybe little-bullshit) computing experience. it's a shame hardware vendors are allowed to only publish drivers for windows.
it's one of the few cases where people with more expertise (i.e. you who builds your own machibe) get a less satisfying result. i'd suggest you try again with spare parts from your last build ;)
"Rock solid, never crashes, runs like lightening on new hardware!*"
* - some exceptions apply
top-level commenter says new machines, not all hardware you could possibly attach to whichever bus your mobo offers, but yeah
downvote me again for pointing out that it's hardware vendors duty to offer drivers for the OS of your choice not your duty to shit on some kernel for not supporting hardware you bought from (excuse my french) shitty vendors
Dude, chill. It was a joke dunking on the idea that Linux is perfect that the top level was complaining about and which you weren't defending, it was not a slam on you.
And I was almost exactly quoting their quote, including "new hardware", so I have no clue where you're pulling that from.
I didn't downvote your first comment, but I would your reply if I could for being so off the rails
