Please no, not again!

You seem to really struggle with simple concepts. What part of my argument do you think that counters? Because I never said Linux has 100% reliability. I said, Linux is more reliable than Windows.

You seem like you’re trying to avoid acknowledging you’re wrong.

Aside from gaming, everything else you mentioned is far easier on Linux. It’s far easier to program, run local AI, and customize the OS with Linux. It’s not even fucking close, so for you to say otherwise is just complete fucking ignorance. And that’s not an insult that is a matter of fact, it’s objectively easier to do all those things in Linux.

The problem is that you have been institutionalized by Windows… and until you accept that, you will never be able to transition.

Why don’t you explain to me why I have not had any problems running 3 servers for the last 5 years. And why I’ve not had any problems running it on 6 other machines of varying desktops and laptops? Why don’t you explain to me why 90% of web and cloud infrastructure chooses Linux because it is so reliable and stable? I do everything in Linux… everything, including recording in OBS and video editing in Lightworks, no problems.

Again, if you are having this many problems, you fucked something up; the problem is you. I saw this comment the other day, “People hate Linux because shows they aren’t computer experts, they’re just Windows power users.” And I’d say that fits you.

People are not lying to you when they say it breaks randomly. Just because it wasn’t your personal experience doesn’t mean it isn’t a common experience. You just have been lucky so far.

Your’e right people are not lying, they just don’t realize what they have done to break it. Linux is great because it gives the users full power… and that includes the power to break it. Windows babysits the user, and it doesn’t allow them to make changes that break it.

If you think that’s the case. Check some big forums for each big distro right after a point update to read the tales of woe and breakage.

So? A lot of dumb people use Linux too… just because dumb people break things doesn’t mean that Linux isn’t stable. There is a reason 90% of web and cloud infrastructure runs on Linux… it’s because it is the most secure and relieable/stable OS for it.

You just have been lucky so far.

Luck has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, Windows is way too limited for anyone with advanced needs. Every time I boot into Windows it feels like I’m wearing 10lb sandbags on my legs and wading through 3 feet of shit… whereas in Linux I can make my computer sing without my hands ever leaving the keyboard, but that’s because Linux is more customizable and offers more control over it.

If you think that’s the case. Check some big forums for each big distro right after a point update to read the tales of woe and breakage.

Again, Linux gives the user full control over it, and that includes the ability to break it… again, many people can not wield that power properly.

People are not lying to you when they say it breaks randomly. Just because it wasn’t your personal experience doesn’t mean it isn’t a common experience. You just have been lucky so far.

They are not lying, they are just too dumb to realize the thing they did to break it.

You just have been lucky so far.

It has nothing to do with luck…

Linux runs circles around Windows in terms of privacy, security, control, customizaton, and DE workflows… so what advanced needs keep you from using it? I’m genuinely curious because Linux is far more advanced than Windows. The only problem it suffers is from software support, so if you are in an industry with software that doesn’t support it, that in my opinion, is the only justification to use Windows.

You are doing something wrong. Linux doesn’t blow up by itself… my grandparents and wife both run it for the past 5 years and haven’t had a single issue with it.

Linux isn’t going to wall you in and prevent you from breaking it. That’s what I love about it, it gives you power and control over your machine, but if you don’t have the knowledge to wield that power, then you shouldn’t be fucking around with changing things. Stick with the package manager, and don’t fuck with system configs… unless you actually understand how it effects the system.

Why else would so many people and businesses overlook a completely free operating system

There are many, many reasons… not a single one is stability.
