for starters, linux does not have a driver for my ethernet nic: Atheros AR8161.. it thinks it does, it shows that it's connected but the internet doesn't work. all of the tutorials for setting it up are 4 years old.. and by now, shit should work out of the box
then i try installing playonlinux... i go into the software store and it's not there.. so i try installing it via the command line, and it freezes on some windows font menu
tl;dr why is linux so terrible?

Download windows 8.1 iso from MS with the media creation tool and use microsoft toolkit to activate it then install classic shell and enjoy the best OS to date.
fuck linux and windows 10.

you could have used synaptic too.

>tl;dr why is linux so terrible?
ubuntu was always shit.
and playonlinux is in the official debian repos. since ubuntu is just a broken copy of debian testing/unstable i'm sure it's in ubuntus official repos too

If the only thing you use your computer for is shitposting an obscure elementary programming projects, linux is a great choice

Also Windows is a great choice if you have nothing to hide, just saying.
