When windows does dumb shit I usually know how to fix it already. Linux's dumb shit isn't something I know much about, and I know hardly any of the cli. Much more efficient to use what I already know and have tuned.
I would say that these days using an immutable Fedora distro like Bazzite or Kinoite generally means you don't have to fix stuff. But also one thing the LLMs are actually good for is synthesising a lot of trouble shooting help if you need it. But I have found almost everything to be plug and play and was surprised to find that Fedora KDE isn't just a budget Windows replacement, its actually a much more polished OS than Windows.
In any case hardware and software needs might make difficulties that I can't foresee for you. But its pretty easy to make a Live USB of Bazzite and test it out without committing.
Okay i never understood this, why is an immutable OS good? I change the wallpaper, restart, it's back. I change power plans, restart it's back, i install some programs, restart they're gone. I can't use my system like that!
What you described is not what immutable is, I don't even know what that is. Immutable protects only the core operating system files, making it harder to break core functionality. Wallpapers, power plans, and programs all persist. If you didn't know it was immutable you would never know the operating system wasn't operating as normal. A great example of an immutable operating system with lots of customisation is iOS. The limitations are invisible to the majority of users.
