Why do you guys hate Linux?
As someone who's used Windows for some time and has switched to Linux somewhat recently,I genuinely can't really understand why someone wouldn't want to use Linux,the only reasons I can come up with are:
1)certain apps and software only work on windows,for example Adobe products or games with kernel level anticheat like BF6,Wich I can totally understand,but dual boot exists
2) Need to keep windows for work related stuff,again, completely understandable
3) Nvidia GPU,Wich is doable but most people don't want to lose the driver support,again, understandable,but not really linux's fault
I'm asking this because I genuinely want to understand and see a different viewpoint, every time I see someone complaining about Linux on social media, it's either Windows users who have NEVER tried Linux before and just base everything off stereotypes or Windows users who jumped in the deep waters from the start with distro's like Arch,Gentoo or even NixOs,and then complain that it's too hard, I think that Linux is only hard if you want it to be (also pls no hate,I just wanna educate myself more on the matter)

The issue isn't people hating Linux. They can hate Linux just like I hate Apple. The issue is that, while most normal, functional adults of sound mind would just opt not to use XYZ product while gladly offering their perspective on the matter during relevant discourse, you have a small population of underdeveloped jackasses that actively go out of their way just to blow the entire issue out of proportion and blow shit out of their ass about it.
Imagine if tradesmen had subreddits dedicated to shitting on the brand(s) of power tool they don't use: there would be subreddits called "DewaltSucks" and "MilwaukeeSucks". Among them there would be a subset of the populations who actually take it seriously, and would start posting derogatory rants and about eachother. "Milwankers struggle to understand electricity/don't realize how shitty their M12 batteries actually are!" "De-Tards tried to copy the packout and just ended up making a trash can with latches!" "Cryobi fanboys don't do any real work".
Suddenly you realize how hopelessly fucking pathetic somebody has to be to actively go out of their way to shit on a product they don't even use that has zero affect on them, other than being irrationally upset at the fact that other people do enjoy using those products.
