I'm sorry but it must be you! Are you a MS troll by any chance?
I've been running linux distros for years, some better than others but each and every version of Linux Lite has served me fine and it runs on all my PCs (which are very varied if you see my profile, all LL3.8 ). Firefox is troublesome on my wifes win10 PC so it is not a solely linux problem. Similarly for Thunderbird on win10.
The support for LL is second to none and given without fee or delay, try to get that from other commercial systems!
To denigrate a system developed by unpaid people around the world and given free with no compulsion to use, is childish. Remember, windows in all its forms was basically compulsory to use, however bad it was - it was near impossible to buy a PC without paying for windows.
So my suggestion to you is to make your life easier, revert to windows 10 if you think it a system fit for purpose and avoid having to complain - that is if you are not a MS troll, otherwise try a fresh install of the latest release and then let us know how satifactory it is. Linux does not support ALL existing hardware, for the same reason that win10 does not, but I'm sure you know that already.
