GNU/Linux is both the world’s best and worst operating system. If you’re running a server it’s the best, it gives you control, sort of. On the desktop however it totally sucks, and over time it’s getting worse.
GNU/Linux also, like the Mac is more of a religion where GNU/Linux followers praise new features that actually make the user experience worse. The community behaves more like a cult and seems completely disconnected from the reality of making something productive or good, they focus on hating Windows rather than making something better than it.
GNU/Linux is $free and is actually not even worth what you pay for it. That’s why people actually are willing to pay for something else. If GNU/Linux paid you to take it it wouldn’t be any more popular than it is now and if it cost money it would be even less popular than it is now, quite an achievement .

I’m currently running 12 Linux servers. I have 20 years of Linux experience. And I’m currently running Linux on my desktop. So you might ask, if I hate Linux so much, why do I run it.
Windows is too insecure. Too easy to end up with ramsomware encrypting your drive and demanding money to release it.
Apple is insanely expensive and doesn’t give me the ability to build my own hardware. I hate their menu system and they are still stuck with one button mouse world (laptops). They go out of their way to be incompatible.

False, even Theo De Raadt of OPenBSD puts Windows ahead of Linux, only OpenBSD beats Windows in terms of security: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXS8ljif9b8

Happens to Linux too, totally avoidable with adblocker and hosts files.

I disagree, linux desktop is the best desktop. >easy updates
>easy installation
>runs quicker than anything else
>has everything you need in the repo, all for free
>no av necessary
>no registry cleaner bullshit
>no defragging
>last but not least, so much fucking choice
Honestly, why the fuck would anybody wait hours for windows """updates""" to complete when you can install a better overall experience in half that time?

I saw a dude this week using an acer crapware with W10 at a lecture. ~5 minutes wasted just on something at boot, maybe updates. It made me smug af with my manjaro/x220 combo that get out of my way and let me take notes asap.
