The obsession with Linux and privacy. Every post it seems like anyone using windows is committing a cardinal sin. I have had to use linux in the past, and let me tell you, I don’t intend to go back to it unless forced to. I still have mental scars of trying to update my gpu drivers
This! I use Linux on my laptop but also have a desktop that runs Windows 10. Some people here act like windows is completely unusable when in reality it’s much more user friendly than Linux.
I would love to tell you that today things are much easier with Linux and that it’s a seamless plug and play experience. And honestly,a lot of the time it is.
But not always. Right now I’m waiting for a live USB to finish flashing so that I can chroot my corrupted GRUB.
Still, at the end of the day it’s probably 95% hassle free, and I can play AAA games just fine, without having to deal with Windows pushing me to use Bing on Edge. I understand that’s not something a lot of people care about, so carry on. I just get excited about how good Linux is these days and like to share it with people.
I feel like people were saying this exact same stuff back in 2008 when Ubuntu really started taking off. I used Ubuntu for years but it was always full of little quirks. The very basic stuff did feel simpler than Windows, but the moment something would go wrong it felt like you were stuck in the deep end.

You get that in any early adoption of technology. It tends to be techies who jump on first, whom tend to value those things.
