    You act like problems don’t happen on windows and macOS. But they do happen, and they’re harder to fix than on linux most of the time.

    Then again, with immutable distros, Debian, Linux Mint, and others, most of the time if something doesn’t work it is because the user did something to break their system and in those cases put effort into it.

    If you are a user that only uses the computer to browse the web, maybe play some games on steam, then you’re unlikely to encounter any issues provided you chose the right distro (Mint would be my recommendation but I hear Fedora Silverblue works nicely). If you’re the kind of user to tinker a lot then you’re likely not a noob and you have no excuse for not looking up what you’re doing.

    If you aren’t willing to learn at least the basics of how to do the stuff you want to do then probably you shouldn’t do that stuff, not blame the system for doing what you told it to do.

      “Provided you choose the right distro.”

      Yeah. Windows or MacOS if you actually want to do shit.

      EDIT
      Just wanted to mention, I’ve never had an issue with Windows or MacOS that wasn’t directly caused by my own personal fuckery. Somehow though, I’ve had multiple Linux distro installs decide to hose themselves because they didn’t update through the precious fucking package manager properly. You know, the thing that everyone is now shitting on users for not using?

      The most fun one was whenever a Debian update decided that the right thing to do was move my primary drive into a subfolder in /etc. Yeah. That fucking happened.

        So you’re complaining that your system breaks because you’re trying to use it as something that it isn’t, without looking up what you’re doing, and somehow that’s not your fault?

        If you try to use a fork as an outlet cleaner don’t complain that the outlet sucks when you’re getting electrocuted.
