Yeah, I just have a tough time believing you guys, from my limited experience with Linux, but also from many others here who seem to be Linux users, but can appreciate why others don't use it. Folks talking about updates bricking peripherals and whatnot. It's something that has literally never happened to me in the last 30+ years I've been Windowsing.
If Linux users could stop being so hyperbolic in their superiority, it might entice me to try it out. Windows isn't some unusable shit and everyone knows it. It's had its issues since day one. And to suggest Linux is just this set it and forget it OS is preposterous. Let's all be real.
FYI, we're actually substantially downplaying how superior Linux is.
That's part of the message we're trying to share, now that it is ready. You're allowed to use Linux as a shit-free alternative to Windows. For some people, that is enough.
But that's barely skimming the surface of all the cool shit happening on Linux today.
