    I heard a guy saying that linux was trash, he had tried it once but it didn’t have drivers for anything and what did exist was difficult to install
    So I asked him when it was that he tried it

    I think he said something like 1998…

      I genuinely had an experience like this myself. I suggested Linux as a solution for something to a friend of mine who was a physicist doing a start up. This was around 2015-2016. He went on an angry rant about frustrating Linux was and nothing would work. His last experience with it was in 2002.

        It was shit in 2002. It was shit in 2015. It’s shit in 2024. Why are you so angry?

          Why do you think I’m angry? You (and my buddy) are just comically wrong, don’t wanna learn and get frustrated and mad when you run into trouble, like a cartoon character trying to open a can with a hammer.

          I use Linux for everything, it’s stable, easy, fun I’m WAAY more comfortable in it than I ever was in Windows. Your opinion doesn’t change how well Linux works for me and has for decades. It’s definitely NOT shit, you just don’t know what you’re doing.
