Only partly. And that was when I regularly hung out with computer engineers at work. Complications were mainly about which parts actually work well with which other parts, what arcane jumper and dip switch settings need to be made, configuring the BIOS, making sure you don’t kill something with static electricity from your body, hard drives or other parts that are actually broken, and, when you turn it on and things do not work, figuring out WTF is actually the problem. Oh, and also, poorly-fitting or otherwise physically-problematic cases and components and screws and stuff. Groan. More recently, just trying to, y’know, install Linux alongside Windows version 8 or later, there are the issues with the Micro$oft security bullshit, such as UEFI, “Smart (ass) Boot”, and now with Win 11, the excessive TPM requirements, which strike me as passive aggressive attempts to discourage people from using Linux on computers with Windows, as well as an attempt to claim control and ownership of security, encryption, and physical machine ID by Micro$oft.
