But that’s why I don’t generally recommend Linux to friends/family, not just DIY distros. I’ve also had Debian upgrades cause problems that needed to be resolved via terminal (something X related, don’t remember exactly).
That’s why no matter how much we make fun of Windows or MacOS, they both are still “just works OS” for friends/family who might not care / have time about facing issues that Linux users are accustomed to firing up the terminal to solve. Well, it might change someday. We can always hope.
I agree, it has to be at least part-time hobby.
