Turns out the reply in my thread telling me the best way to combat not caring about Linux is to care about Linux was absolutely correct.

I picked up a laptop, installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I’m already obsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with a PC in a long time and it’s just a cheapo Dell Inspiron 3520.

You’re asking for help in entirely the wrong way, here I’ll fix it for you:

“Linux is shit. I have an Asus Transformer T100TA and I thought I’d try MX Linux and fluxbox. I poked around for a few minutes and couldn’t get any sort of battery display to work on it, when it’s fully functional by default in windows. If this is the best that Linux can do in 2023, forget it, I’m sticking with windows.”

There. That oughta do it!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
