I hate when people keep repeating the myth that Linux is more secure than X OS without any understanding of how much Linux gets exploited.
On the other hand, FreeBSD rarely suffers from wide security issues.
Overall, I don’t think anyone should repeat the myth that Linux is secure.
And at least if they gonna recommend Linux, they better recommend a good distro with SeLinux, hardened kernel and hardened OS.
There are ten thousand Linux distributions—some of which are shit—and only one FreeBSD.
The amount of different distros is mesmerising. On my previous laptop, I wanted to use Linux but I wiped and installed more distros per day than the amount of hours I used it.
Each had its drawbacks: systemd, snapd, no HDMI support, etc. And Gnome would just freeze in the middle of presentations
Sounds like you speedrunned distro hopping and used anything but the stuff people actually end up using. I recommend not to look at distros but the base OS. Distro is just a bunch of things on a base. Also I’ve never used Gnome, but friends who have used it eventually switched to literally anything else.
Also, never expect things to be 100% plug and play and then complain about them with no research. There is always a limit with every software. And there are always resources and guides.
Of course it was my mistake that the HDMI port didn’t work with KDE? On arch linux. I was using it wrong
What distro doesn’t have HDMI support?!
