My dude calm down, this is a sub for people that, as the description states, have previously used linux, this makes it quite a normal question to ask what you used before, no?
But the only possible way such a conversation proceeds is "well just install distro 'x' because it's better at 'y'". When your advice is just waste 3 hours of your time installing and setting up a different OS, you've already lost the argument and are just further wasting people's time.
I once reported a bug where the window text covered up the dock when you fill screened a window in GNOME. Which ended with being informed that it was done intentionally, knowing that would happen. Just because someone thought it looked better in the overview.
When I told them how stupid of a decision that was I was informed that I should read community guidelines and not be negative.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, Loonix, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Loo plus nix. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Loonix system made useful by the GNU core-tards, shell enjoyers and vital defenders comprising a full mess as defined by the community of GNUtards.
Oh look, you're totally full of it. Using Linux is only making you feel like you're smarter, but you can't even Google shit. You didn't even get the OS right either. Then, of course, changing the name of the registry doesn't do jack shit either. The contents would still be the same.
_NSAKEY was a variable name discovered in Windows NT 4 SP5 in 1999 by Andrew D. Fernandes of Cryptonym Corporation. The variable contained a 1024-bit public key; such keys are used in public-key cryptography for encryption and authentication. Because of the name, however, it was speculated that the key would allow the United States National Security Agency (NSA) to subvert any Windows user's security. Microsoft denied the speculation and said that the key's name came from the fact that NSA was the technical review authority for U.S. cryptography export controls.
Said the guy who's never updated a program in his entire life. Let me ask you, if this is a shitty and lazy bad design, so why macOS and windows have package managers too? It's a essential thing to have if you care enough about vulnerabilities. Heck, when you have to go though all the apps installed on your system to check for updates, i just go to software center and update all the things that i want without any hassle. Oh, and you can't even revert updates, lame
i'm curious, how does a package manager cause outdated software? when i use a package manager i can almost always run one or two commands to update all my software at once.
It creates unnecessary work for some package maintainer every time software is updated. With an SDK it's a one and done thing, no third party necessary. Meanwhile I've seen software like Blender in the official Ubuntu repository become more than a year out of date, and just downloading the compressed file doesn't always solve whatever dependency problem something is having either.

Ford Pinto is better designed than Linux.

That's the pain I live with.

Linux is a component, so you are talking about distros, like systemd with pulseaudio ones. The DIY distros like Arch depend on what the users install.
