I really like Linux but I just wish I understood how to use it better. I keep having to look up how to do things.
I had the same problem trying to use a Windows 11 laptop after running linux at home for years. Turns out the "looking stuff up" part is how you learn how to use it better.

Last week my brother had to use my laptop and install Rstudio(for some University project) because his Mac was too old and slow. I was out of home so I had to instruct him through the phone and I could hear his awe while he explained how easy was to install the program. He told me laughing that he could see the pacman and started to cheer for it, this made my day.
I gotta say, apt-get is not my favorite way to update... yay is so much simpler.

unattended-upgrades and cron jobs for everything else ftw.
No Linux system of mine upgrades itself without my explicit consent. That's one of the many reasons why I don't run Windows.
Setting those up is me explicitly giving my consent for it to upgrade on a schedule.
Yeah alright. That's one way of looking at it π
I guess what I meant is that I don't like upgrades that happen without me explicitly requesting each and every one of them, and me watching the upgrade process as it happens for errors.
