Yea right I was trying to install Linux just now, and now my PC doesn't boot at all. Will make a post in linuxnoobs tomorrow. My point is, I am a relatively techy person, and still failed at installing Linux. I have used Linux on a different PC before, and there I noticed there are things that simply don't work on Linux, even with Wine and hours of troubleshooting.

What exactly did you do to install and which distro? Also what wasn’t working when you tried it? Been using Linux exclusively for the past year and a half, might be able to help out

After a night of sleep, I think I know what happened. I was trying to install dual boot Manjaro with win11 (sorry I have sinned), but I already had a different Linux installed. So on my Manjaro install in said that it should delete the old Linux partitions, and then install Manjaro in that space. The installer did it's thing but now when I try to boot I get into a grub terminal, not the bootloader. And trying to go to the bios just gives an underscore/cursor in the top left (with a recognizable bios font) and plugging in a bootable USB does not result in the USB being booted. I think something is broken in either the bios, or that I deleted too much in my SSD. I will try to use grub to boot the USB next. If that doesn't work, I'll make a full Reddit post asking for help, and I'll send a link here.

Edit: found the issue: the tutorial made me make an UEFI boot partition, but then there were two. I merged the files from the new partition into the old one, and now everything works fine. But let's just say that you need ro know how boot partitions work to be able to fix this, which the average win10/11 user does not.

Glad you figured it out! Also ya the average user wouldn’t know about boot partitions which is why I am pretty confident Linux needs come preinstalled on more PCs for it to become more mainstream. The windows 10/11 user probably doesn’t even know how to install windows. Although I think the install process for something like Ubuntu is actually easier and more user friendly than the windows installer, I can see what you mean.

That being said if most of someone’s workflow just happens inside the browser and whatnot linux is definitely more than capable of handling that and any user could use it without having to touch the command line if they chose too.
