    “shit just works” I’m sorry but you’re fucking high if you think shit just works on linux. Every problem is a rabbit hole of 3 new problems with 3 more new problems.

    I am by no means saying windows is any good, or any better necessarily. But this “Linux works great and is easy to use” is a load of shit and I’m sick of hearing it.

      Yeah you know, maybe you should actually use it because I’ve been using it for the past 25 years as a desktop and I’ve had a fraction of the shit I see happening on windows desktops

      Yes, shit just works. Yeah, there are issues, there are bugs, all software has bugs, but holy shit is the design better.

      Windows always FRACKING ALWAYS has headache issues to deal with. I now control a fleet of machines for employees and sadly they’re windows, still, and the amount of shit we deal with on a daily basis is incredible. We’re too busy now but soon we’ll start a project to replace all machines.with Linux at which point shit will finally just work. How do I know this? I’ve done it before, ma y times.

      So yeah, fuck Microsoft, fuck windows, it’s all trash

      In my experience a stable distribution is a “set and forget”, unless you start tinkering with it.

      I have countless of users where I’ve installed something like Linux Mint and it’s been literally running for years without any issues. These users have no idea how to use a computer, except for logging in and opening the browser.

      Obviously the more complex a setup, the more shit can go wrong.

      I can agree. Gaming, especially running some older games (early 2000s) is infuriating. I spent a whole evening tinkering around to get it to run, only to realize at midnight, oops it crashes occasionally for unknown reasons. Actually playing games > getting games to run properly
