Sharing my story here. For years, I have been a Windows user (who didn't?), but since I got into college, new horizons were open to me, and I simply fell in love with Linux. Everything on it is utterly beautiful, challenging, and makes you feel like you are in control of your computer, not the opposite.
However, everytime I got Linux as my OS it just gave me headaches. Not because I don't know how to use, not because I don't know any command line (because I know these things), but because of something that rarely happened, just under VERY threatning situations: Freezes and Blackscreens.
The computer would just suddenly freeze itself, or go into a blackscreen with that "_" (underline) blinking at top left corner, but impossible to use any commands. And the worst part, that happened frequently with a Fresh New OS. In a few hours, I just pressed Hard Reset button more than 40 times.
It's an unfortunate, but I had to go back to Windows (sad), but there I couldn't risk damaging my machine even more.
The OS was the newest Ubuntu 20.04
