Is it normal that those supposed-to-be simple Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora or Mint fail to be simple?

I'm used to do everything by myself. My current favorite distribution is Void (https://voidlinux.org), before that I used Arch and long long time ago Slackware. So somehow, although I'm used to some manual labor to make everything work, I expected those user friendly distributions to work at least without much knowledge out of the box. But I always got disappointed. Last experiment was Fedora 30. Nice, colorful installer, yes. But even that one failed at simple things like package selection (error: one of the package dependencies is not satisfied). How can that happen with a preselected selection of packages? Then the popup offered to change the selection or cancel and cancel just killed the whole installer. I had more problems like automatic reboot that failes because the system never actually shuts down but everything is hidden behind a pretty spinner. That's not only Fedora btw, I had more problems with KDE Neon and Linux Mint.

So, is it only me? Do I expect too much?

Writing on Linux (stories and such).

I love Linux. I also love writing. If there are any authors who use linux what do you use to write your stories? Do you use vim or neovim? Or is there something else that you use. I am looking for something that is not in the way and will stay out of the way when I write which is why i dont use libre-office. I would like something that has a file explorer if possible so I can dig through my notes on the fly. Thank you in advance.

Edit: words and things

File System real on-disk usage.

I was wondering what file system I could shove (without compression) the most data into. So...

Criteria:

* Gentoo Linux x64, Kernel 5.2.1
* Emtec 256GiB USB 3.0 flash drive.
* Latest tools for tested file systems, as well as latest GParted (which was used in formatting the partitions)
* Must be mountable, regular access similar to ext4, and able to support a 16GiB file system anywhere on a 256 GiB drive.
* Must be in kernel (can be compiled in)

The following file systems were eligible: ext4, f2fs, ntfs, fat32, hfsplus, resiser3, jfs, xfs, btrfs, udf

Exceptions to the list:

* extfat: Nobody's made tools for it for supporting it. Microsoft's "insistence."
* minux: Requires all blocks to be under 65536.
* fat16: Max size 4 GiB.
* xiafs: No support in latest kernel.

​

[The results.](https://i.redd.it/nj4y5bq3okb31.png)

Meta usage was calculated by subtracting the reported capacity from 1677216 (16 GiB in KiB). Real Used percentage calculated by taking the reported free and dividing it by 1677216.

How are Android variants (e.g. TouchWiz) closed source?

Android is built on Linux so it's opensource.

But Android variants aren't opensource?
