Running Gitea and want to mirror worthwhile repositories, hence this post. :)

Happened to me all the time, when, for example, setting up very generic and common laptops for family & friends. It never worked out of the box. Every single time, I had to give special treatment. Research extra drivers, etc... Hard to do in some locations, when they do not have a second system to do all the work from.
Okay, but are they in danger of being removed? I think, they should be very well preserved...
Have a different experience. Usually, Linux does not even boot, due to driver issues, in the first place. So, the first installation process usually easily takes 5 to 10 hours, straight. And this is only for common popular distributions, not to mention lesser known and lesser supported ones. (Talking about Linux GUI based installations, only.)
Oh speaking of monitors. How many times have I tried to use more than 2 monitors on Linux... Never worked. On Windows it's a matter of plug & play and it just works. :)
The problem is, that most people would then not update, get issues, land in a thread like this, make propaganda against Windows, since something doesn't work or is insecure, when in fact the problem is in front of the screen, who always denied the update, that fixes those issues... That is why upgrades are rightfully enforced. At some point, you gotta upgrade or stop using the system.
Good points.
My friend uses the same headset on Linux, that I use on Windows.
When he "mutes" his headset, it is not actually muted on Linux. It is not really fixable. Obviously, on Windows it just works.
Literally the same story happened on Linux in the span of decades countless times. On Windows? Cannot remember this happening more than once.
How to install the app on Linux.
You search for it. Highly likely it is not available or barely functional.
IF it works, it's only packaged for Ubuntu, Debian and Arch. If you use Nix or something even more niche, good luck with proprietary software or sometimes even openly available open source software.
Tried it over many years. Last one was last year. Every time, the same problem. I even considered moving to Windows, but it would be tougher for me to administrate for me, as I'm used to headless Linux. It's just, whenever Linux tries to GUI, it fucks up everything colossaly.
