You were on Debian, but a friend told you Linux is terrible. He mentioned Windows first, then Mac OS, and finally Linux as the last option. I’m feeling upset and need some guidance through this situation.

Linux can be quite challenging, especially for those not familiar with technology or who lack the effort to troubleshoot. However, it offers a powerful sense of independence.

You won't be able to keep everything. Take a moment to reflect, though—it's just an opinion. You might enjoy Linux, while I don't, it's all about personal taste. Just like Ford versus Chevy, Coke versus Pepsi or Conn versus Yamaha, it comes down to individual preference.

There you go, it's not too bad after all. Everyone faces folks like these who clash with our views, especially when our ideas hold up against theirs. Just remember to appreciate them each day for their obvious foolishness—it makes us feel more intelligent.

Speaking to the choir member. (I don’t really enjoy sparkling water.) After all, this remains just a personal view.

Linux could definitely be useful for you, but installing it messed up my bootloader more than once. Got it.

Usually, when something comes from a bottle here, I’d say it’s not perfect. Our town water still tastes bad even after filtering, and the coal ash situation adds to the worry about drinking it. Could you clarify what caused the bootloader issue? A bit more detail might help find a fix. The only bootloader problems I’ve seen are when Ubuntu tries to install on a different drive, like putting the bootloader on another hard disk instead of the main one. This makes it impossible to start Linux on another computer. A simple solution is to double-check during installation—make sure it loads on the SSD or primary drive, or remove all other drive cables beforehand.

The problem has already been fixed. The bootloader was damaged and couldn't start any system.
