I have a ‘helper’ PC that monitors and downloads and catalogues. I wanted to go to Linux, but after battling with network share access for days I just gave up. Linux needs to be more ‘works out of the box’ but I’m patient.

    I’m still primarily on windows myself, about 80% of the way to pulling the trigger on switching to Linux as my main driver, but I haven’t been able to work out all the things I need to be able to do yet, and dual booting really isn’t that viable for me because the amount of shit I typically have going at once means rebooting isn’t a trivial process. I’ve found a lot of shit on Linux to actually be pretty simple to accomplish once you know where to look for information, but finding that information can be tricky and that’s what makes the process so frustrating. That said my windows system is starting to have enough problems just running stably that it might force the issue before long.

    I actually have to ask: what is something that 'works out of the box '?
