I never really got into OS modding until recently, so that could be why everything felt smooth until the end. Looking back I suspect a lot of my good experience chalked down to luck.

This is true of all OSes TBH. Issues arise when you start to mess with them.

Remember this if you switch to linux.

I've been on Linux for the last year, that's definitely something I learned the hard way multiple times on the path. I'm very nervous about the move towards "AI" handling a lot of that stuff.
