I never had trouble, so others never had trouble and are lying...
That's kind of a shity and condescending attitude to have.
And the official ev3 app never worked. Ev3dev never had the same convenience.
It's like saying you don't nedd Photoshop because gimp exist.
And yeah, i grow tired of having to spend time on getting stuff to run that on windows is just "install and run" because the manufacturer / developer actually made sure it would work on windows.
No what I'm saying is that I literally help a couple people in my area jump to Linux and none of them have any trouble they didn't already have before and in general they have less trouble. Everything works, there is literally nothing someone wants to get done what he or she can't. We even got Cheat Engine up and running for this one guy because he really really wanted to use cheat tables instead of GameConquerer. And we have done it, it works and he can bow do it himself. But those are rare edge cases, most of the people and systems I kinda look over are happy and work fine.
I mean to be fair, there was one attempt which failed because he was using some high end audio hardware which indeed just wasn't supported for Linux, there were alternatives, but he already had his equipment so he went into the path of Win11 and debloating & running all those famous removal scripts but again, its an edge case and the only failed attempt
