Honestly, I agree with @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net

Ok fair enough, but I wouldn't have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.

I'm not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.

These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It's also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.

Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic "use Linux".

Do I just think penguins are adorable because I like Linux, or are those lil guys actually as hug shaped as I think they look?

The chubby little guys are absolutely adorable.

They do look huggable. I wanna rub those bellies. And boop the beaks. And scritch the tops of their lil heads.
