It means it's great.

Props to Alpine and Kali for disabling this bullshit out of the box (lemmy.world)

Context for newbies: Linux refers to network adapters (wifi cards, ethernet cards, etc.) by so called "interfaces". For the longest time, the interface names were assigned based on the type of device and the order in which the system discovered it. So, eth0, eth1, wlan0, and wwan0 are all possible interface names. This, however,...

I want to give NixOS a try sometime, as I like the idea of declaritively defining the system

That seems to be even more convoluted and complex.

"Just one more abstraction layer, I swear!"

I'm a NixOS noob bytheway, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

I had the experience recently with two wifi usb sticks. Linux: Work out of the box, no hassle. Windows: One was not supported on Win 11 and caused blue screens, the other only works on USB2 port, not on USB3 and it was a real hassle to finde the right drivers.

That's why I don't understand people who say Windows is easier than Linux.

I can't get sound to work probably on bookworm with an pretty old (10 yrs) system. It's so confusing between pipewire, pulseaudio and alsa.

I just don’t have the technical chops nor spare time to make my OS a hobby.

Windows is not immune to this, I tried to get a few years old wifi stick to work and it was a nightmare with different hardware revisions, old drivers that aren't included in windows, bluescreens and a difference between using the USB 2 and USB 3 ports.
With Linux it just worked out of the box after plugging the stick into the computer.

No, as with Microsoft, Users will just suck it up.

Can't recommend unfortunately. My wifes Flip3 was repaired two times, and now the plastic film on the display loosened a third time. She now bought a fairphone.
