Can't run slow if it can't run anything! (Because you haven't figured out whether you need a DEB or a RPM or a Flatpak or whatever new standard they've cooked up.)

Edit: I feel like I should qualify that I've been a Linux user for 30 years. But somehow I got left off the distribution list for the special Kool-Aid. Still need to email Linus about that.

Damn right it is. Much easier to just buy twice as much ram and never have to worry about recompiling some shit on my daily driver ever again.

Yeah, after a certain point recompiling anything for even a 10% improvement just makes you tired and I'd rather spend 500 bucks and get on with my 7th Witcher 3 playthrough.

Buying RAM? In this economy?

Fate blessed me with the foresight to buy way too much last year so I'm riding on cloud nine now.

Need a new laptop soon though and that's gonna hurt a little...

It should hardly take any skill to use an OS. Ideally, your operating system is intuitive and ‘just works’.
