Linux is not a mainstream OS and quicker you guys accept that then maybe we can move past this bullshit of having a free and open source OS that is unfriendly to use and move in to fixing the issues that’s preventing people from switching.

Man, I don't care if anyone switches or not. Convincing people to switch isn't something I consider any kind of priority, and I don't think it should be a priority for anyone. Linux is here, and happily used by many without these hours and hours of problems, and it's constantly getting better. It's there for the folks who want it. Windows has been on a downward spiral since Win2K went EoL, and each and every year I'm more and more surprised by the abuse they heap on their users. But, it's fine with me for that to be fine for some folks.

I disagree with the specific sentiment I quoted for the specific reasons I described. I don't claim it's for everyone, nor that corner cases don't exist. It's entirely fine for us to disagree on this.

Edit--

I went back to reread my comment to see what was so offensive or could have been taken so negatively. I do think I should have included a "probably" near the beginning of the sentence below. Aside from that, yeah.

If it’s like that for you, then you need a different distro, or different hardware, or you aren’t actually as comfortable with Linux as you think you are.

Why don't you just fuck off? I really don't care about your personal experience. Mine wasn't good and I've been using it for over a decade. Congrats you had zero problems. Your experience doesn't match mine. Here's a fucking cookie.

Asshole.
