It has gotten so much easier too. I started with Ubuntu on an old laptop to try it out back in ~2017. I had some ‘learning experiences.’ This year, it took almost no effort to slap bazzite on a machine, do a few small tweaks using a GUI settings app, no terminal activity needed, and let even someone who has never used a CLI just get on with their day with basically no issue. At this point, the only issue is a handful of software, specifically Adobe and their nonsense.
definitely. back then some games needed me to compile cherrypicked patches to enable it to run, or some extra features. generally a bunch of fiddling around. today it’s pretty much plug and play.
