It can be your fault, but if the distro is supposed to be easy and you haven’t messed with its internals, it’s probably the distro’s fault.

My #1 priority when choosing a distro was that it’s widely used and easy, because I don’t want to deal with that exact kind of shit.

I did that for a while to try out everything out there, but after hopping from fedora I somehow always returned. Guess that’s the one.
