     @nixCraft Sadly, I sometimes find myself going the other way, the Torvalds way, these days. The Linux desktop is muddy, burning, and the sound of gunfire never stops ...

     @nixCraft I had a rare occasion when a friend asked if there is any other OS for his laptop because windows 10 was lagging on his laptop and usually you don't get that but more like "how to fix X in Windows", So I suggested Linux Mint and I definitely had expected a call some day for some issue but to my surprise nothing till date and he is using it without any problems. And the best part he installed it himself, I just gave instructions. Great job Linux mint team.

     @nixCraft The funny part is, people using Linux have trouble much more often than people using windows. Like 1000x more often. The linux people usually just also know hot to fix them. At least from what I see everyday 😂

     @nixCraft oh man I can already see all those people failing to find a button sudoing apt everything with pride on a daily basis and building the needed software from source, first building all the necessary compilers and getting modules 🤣 oh come on 🤣 with all my love for the Linux - I’m not sure it’s definitely not for everyone

     @nixCraft And back in the day, when I was giving Linux a chance:
     Me: I need to use WiFi on all these distros I’m trying.
     THEM: RECOMPILE THE DRIVER! BINARY BITS IS SLAVERY!

     @nixCraft there's enough misery to go around for both systems -- just with one of them you won't be forced into the indignity of paying for the dysfunction and frustration.

     who knows, you may end up donating willingly to your favorite open-source folks instead.
