Linux has been fine for me for a couple years. Fuck Microsoft.

Linux isn’t perfect, but it’s kind of hilarious how much more stable it is than Windows, considering it’s mostly made by volunteers and Windows is made by one of the most highly funded corporations on earth.

It's all about the design philosophy. Linux is made by volunteers, but their goal is functionality for the user. Windows has a lot of funding, but their goal is more profits for the shareholders.

the ecosystem is heavily sponsored & shaped by the big ones.

I'm currently dealing with an annoying Linux bug, but it's specific to one distro and I'm already planning to switch to something more stable.

Linux certainly has its share of annoyances. But I'd much rather deal with the Linux annoyances than the Windows ones.

If Linux screws up, it's nearly always my fault, and I can almost always find a way to fix it (and in the process gain a little more knowledge about how the whole thing functions).

It's how I imagine car mechanics feel about building and driving a car.

At least Linux bugs are usually fixable and errors aren't as generic as water

At least when I'm trying to fix something in Linux the OS itself isn't trying to fight me.
