Skill issue.

Kidding lol. It sounds like you just picked a bad distro. I run EndeavourOS and I can make 1 character pins if I want.

Practically everything besides computers run on Linux.

Can non-techies use android phones? Absolutely! They run on Android, which is just modified Linux.

There are idiot-proof distros out there, less intimidating than Windows or iOS.

I dualboot both.

Windows for games with anti-cheat.

Linux for everything else. EndeavourOS is my darling.

This is very easily mitigatable.

Set your root and home partitions seperately. Keep a text file of all the applications you install (preferably as a script).

When you break it, reinstall the OS, and relink the home partition. Run the script to reinstall your applications. Done.

Certainly takes less time than reinstalling Windows or even asking it to fix itself.

AMD or NVIDIA? Also how long ago?

I found most prograns I need run on wine, you just need to use the right settings. Playonlinux and Lutris are useful for applications, not just games.

I have ADHD and meditation has been a great help. I used the Waking Up app to learn to meditate, which removes all sorts of mysticism from the equation. The introductory course is great, it starts out simple enough but begins to become very interesting by about day 20 or so.

Amazing what 10 minutes of practice a day does.
