 Nothing fucking works I have a mac and a linux and i cant do everything i want. I need to jump through hoops to run something. 
I am getting old for hoops. i just want something to fucking work. I search for an app i find an exe that i double click and it fucking works.

 That exact experience is what led to my Linux purge. I really truly feel you on this one bro. I wasn’t pulling your leg. 

It just fucking works. 

Every time. 

I haven’t had an issue with a Windows install in so long I just take it for granted.

 I never tried this, but it sounds promising. Windows but with some privacy 😅

 There are actually serious security issues with that release and from what I understand it is not recommended to be used online. I looked into it a couple of months ago for an older system I wanted a slimmed down OS for.

 There is appimage in Linux where can can download the app image file and double click to run. No need to install.

I get your frustration that there is some learning curve in Linux.

 True. But there are about 5 apps built that way.
