      And here we have a Windows power user that gave Linux a half-hearted attempt sometime in the last decade, never attempted to learn anything, and failed… so obviously Linux is broken. It surely isn’t his own ineptitude, it’s definitely Linux, it doesn’t matter that 90% of all web and cloud infrastructure runs on. It doesn’t matter tech illiterate people like my 80+ year old grandparents get by without any problems on it. It doesn’t matter it blows Windows out of the water in terms of customization, workflows, reliability, control, and privacy for advanced users. He tried it, couldn’t figure it out whatever Windows thing he was trying in the 2 hours he used it, so it obviously is broken.

      I find it hilarious when Windows power users try Linux, realize that they are not actually the computer experts they see themselves as but merely Windows power users. They get salty about it and blame Linux for not being confined to their own limited idea on how an OS should work… you know, like Windows. Then make a bunch of bullshit assumptions and statements that are completely wrong to make themselves feel better about failing to understand an amazing OS.

        Similarly, about 90% of the complaints I see linux users make about Windows are actually limitations in their understanding or are just outdated and no longer apply.

          I know more about Windows than I do about Linux… I used it for decades. Windows lacks customization, it has dogshit workflows. And it sends telemetry data. Windows is a joke, I know it’s limitations because I do have an in depth knowledge of its workings.

          I truly believe Linux is great for basic users, and also Linux is great for advanced users. The only people that have problems with it are insecure Windows power users that want to think they understand how a computer works, but really have no idea.

              Lmao, imagine being that desperate for validation. I know you’re a LTT bro that’s offended by my assessment, the only advice I have to offer… don’t be so insecure and fragile, learn from it.

      That’s categorically untrue. As long as you stick with well supported, mainstream distributions, most things just work. Given the vast diversity of window managers, init systems, boot loaders, desktop environments, package managers, graphical interface systems, audio systems, and so on… it’s surprising how well things do just generally work in most cases.

      Gee, I must have imagined writing a novel on a laptop running Linux, with nothing giving any trouble at all.

      I guess my imagination is even better than I thought!

      Sadly, that means that the second novel I’m halfway through must be imaginary too. A shame to have imagined that much imagining.

      Seriously, that’s just this laptop, it doesn’t count the ones on desktop before that, also on Linux.
