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.

It's annoying (compared to anything similar on Arch) and will reinstall things you've removed. There is conflicting information on the best way to deal with this, either way more complicated than 'off'. It's a problem that shouldn't be a problem, and it seems to be a common issue people have.

It is possible to lock packages an those would not be reinstalled, even if they are part of a pattern - zypper rm foo, zypper al foo, thats it. Yes, the list of addlocked packages could be long depending on the starting point. But users have full control over everything what gets installed in the first place.

I have decided i don’t care much about patterns. There is no perfect distribution, but tumbleweed is pretty close for me.
