I feel the same way with Adobe and Apple.
with certain distros the answer is a resounding “yes” with some others it’s a “technically, yes” and with even others it’s “good luck!”
UAC-style sudo prompts are are one of the most common issues i can think of. It’s very poorly implemented in the distro i use.
DOS/Win 3.1 -> Win95 -> Win98 SE -> windowXP -> open?SuSe(1 week) -> Mandrake -> (a month) -> WindowsVista -> Debian(a couple years) ->Win8(a few months) -> Ubuntu/Kubuntu (a couple years) -> Pop_OS! (currently). I still have a windows vm installed but it rarely gets used.
That’s kind of the highlights sort of how I remember it. It’s been a long time . 15-20 years of gnu/linux usage. I’ve also been using a raspberry pi with raspbian/raspberry pi os since the first gen device was released, too.
at the time I installed Mandrake it was one of the only distros that had a graphical installer besides Red Hat. I remember that was a driving factor for my decision making back then.
I used to crash my Debian and eventual Ubuntu distros with regularity due to outdated PPAs. It was such a headache, and it’s why I still put my /home directory on a seperate partition just to make a reinstall safe for my personal files. I thought I didn’t like Appimages and their bloat until Snap came along. I hated Snap so much it convinced me switch distro’s again. Now I’m on Pop! and I love Flatpaks by comparison and now think Appimages are alright…
It’s 10+ years later and I still irrationally worry about crashing my system due to outdated & conflicting source dependencies. In hindsight the problems with PPAs clearly had a lasting impact on me.

I’m a Hoosier born in Indianapolis, the same home-state as Kurt Vonnegut and Eugene Debs, and I’ve read 6 of his novels. You seem to be the misguided one in this scenario.

Actions speak louder then words.
“We are who we pretend to be, so we should be careful who we pretend to be.”
If the only real political input we have is used to support the leading liberal candidate, then it’s reasonable to identify them as a ‘Liberal Voter’ regardless of who or what they claim to the contrary.

Now, here we are. Again.
I think there’s evidence out there that suggests that only ~1.8 people of the remaining four non-voters would advocate driving off of the cliff but your point still stands. --That is, if people continue to strictly subscribe to the binary Dem/Repub mindset.
It’s a false dilemma. --For the reasons people reduce it and argue that it is an exclusively binary decision would by the nature of those reasons implicitly argue against the concept of living under any form of a functional democracy itself.
Back when I moved over to linux I wanted to get away from the mainstream. Fedora/Red Hat were too mainstream for me at the time but I have never had any real objections to it. I eventually ended up settling on Debian and ever since then i’ve stuck with descendants of that distro because having the same toolchains of software as Debian makes transitioning distros slightly easier.
