    To everyone asking who linux breaks for: me. My desktop? Wont wake from sleep half the time (motherboard issue, fuck you ASRock), I have a laptop that wont load its wifi drivers unless you sacrifice 12 children too it(it legit just had wonky drivers being an older intel wifi chip), audio and video issues out the ass on those old dell office pcs

    Just because you won the hardware lottery doesnt mean wonky devices dont still exist. And sometimes people shop by price of hardware not its linux compatibility

      Unfortunately yeah, these things still happen with Linux. I love linux, and I don’t use Windows, but all the “Linux never does anything wrong”, or “works on my machine, it must be a skill issue” people don’t realize how much that prevents people from moving over.

      Linux is a looooooot better than it used to be, but pretending that problems don’t exist, is how Linux, and the culture surrounding it, got such a bad reputaion for such a long time.
