  • Butthurt Linux gobblers are downvoting you even though you are correct. I have had so many instances of having to spend hours upon hours upon hours just do figure out how to do some basic shit on Linux that I can do on every operating system within a matter of 5 minutes. “But Linux is free and open source, but Linux isn’t spyware, but but Linux (insert whatever you want here”. This is not the point. Point is the average peeson probably doesn’t have the time and energy to spend hours upon hours trying to figure out how to setup DNS over TLS (when it can be setup in 2 minutes underneath Windows without ever needing to open up a terminal), why their microphone isn’t working (find out there are no supported drivers and need to boot into Windows whenever I need to use the mic for whatever online meeting), why their laptop doesn’t sleep properly (finds out it was a kernel related issue, had to wait until the next update), touch sensor not working, and etc etc etc.

    No I am not going to stop using Linux people it is still my main OS for like 95% of my activities. But having to have my Windows partition there because my fucking microphone doesn’t work, NOT because I need it to run certain software, is the exact reason Linux will never be mainstream. But I guess you can keep pointing out Microsoft’s predatory actions instead of trying to fix Linux’s problems cause that’s productive aye?
