Idk man, when i started using linux with PopOS as my first distro 5 years ago, i don’t remember anything not working as it should. It wasn’t until i started using arch that i had to do more things myself, which makes sense cause it’s a diy distro.
When I started 9 ago I somehow managed to destroy my Debian install (specifically the Wayland session) when I tried to install Genshin Impact. Now I play happily play Genshin on my Mint. But my starting philosophy was: Better break it now before I put too much time into it.
The same with windows tho, you always have to find solutions.
I was on linux mint, kde plasma and another rather odd distro with a window manager. All worked out of the box. But i saw hell let loose with someone with cameras and just the cameras, the rest seemed fine and in working condition.
Getting Linux to work correctly the first time straight “out of the box?”
Yes.

I also have always had everything just work, I don’t understand how everything is always broken for everyone else. Maybe I just buy good hardware?
Depends on the distro.
False, it’s also going smooth for me. The only prick is you.
