Over the years I've occasionally tried using various flavors of Linux since version 0.99 (that came on something like 30 1.44MB floppies). In every try I waste more time trying to get it to work and/or configured than actually using it. Life's too short.

Just to be clear, I've no hatred of either Linux or Mac. I own and use a MacBook Pro and iPad for my music production and like them fine, as well as my iPhone. As for Linux I just don't have the time or interest to overcome the issues I've had with it or the learning curve of using it, and even if I did it cannot do everything I need it to do with the tools I already own.

Whatever "headaches" are created by using VMs are offset (and then some) by the fact that backing up the whole OS becomes as simple as backing up the one file representing the disk. I wish it were that easy to manage backups with a "real" OS.
Not to mention portability. Since the hardware is virtualized, you're using the same drivers everywhere (eg, you don't even have to think about it), so there's no worry about moving a VM to potentially incompatible hardware.

Aye... absolute pain in the A**
I spend more time hunting for common settings, than I do actually changing them.

Aaarrrggghhhh!
I got stuck on CONJUNCTION = Meeting. UNCTION = the application of ointment. But I couldn't figure in the CONJ. When the whole time the definition of UNCTION was screaming the actual solution at me.
Ya gotta know when to fold 'em.

I have attempted to use FireFox exclusively for years now.
It's a non-Chrome engine.
It has a feature which allows you to watch videos while you do other things -- quite convenient.
Anyway, recently FireFox has locked up my Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS desktop completely -- did it three different times.
I moved back to Brave (which is seen by the world as Chrome).
Do you switch browsers? Which browsers do you use?

I used FF for years but started having problems. So I switched to Chrome and it does the job, but there are some things about FF that I miss.
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.
