Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

What do you mean with regards to the Logitech mouse? I've been using M185's for two decades now without issue. The only issue I have is with the newer version of them which doesn't drop an easily readable battery state in /sys/class/power_supply/hidpp_battery_{0..9}/capacity_level .

Also; Libre Office exists.

Try using one on Mint. A mouse that's been around longer than Mint has been an idea doesn't work at all until you search and discover a third party app to enable it.

ANY Logitech mouse works with generic windows drivers since 2000. Under Mint they don't work at all without the third party app.

That's more a Mint problem than a Linux problem. I'm running Debian stable without issue.
