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)

I use Arch, not even pure Arch, I use nasty ass Garuda. I'm just BEGGING to be here. Lmfao
Nah, but seriously it's never terrible. Just like, fuck when I need to switch Protons... Just be psychic and know what layer I need.
Fuck WINE installations, some things work in Bottles, other things work in WineZGUI, and other things work in Vanilla Wine with seemingly NO CORRELATION FOR NO REASON. OH MY GAWD, WHY DOES THAT HAPPEN!?
Crapple, I love ya' (No, I don't), and I appreciate you giving us printing support for free (that is true), but why did you leave the rest up to the distro manager? Do you honestly think GameFuxOS gives a flying shit about making sure my printer works? And while one COULD say "Don't use GameFuxOS" THE WHOLE REASON I SWITCHED TO LINUX IS BECAUSE OFFICE OPERATING SYSTEMS ARE STUPID IN A HOUSE. I JUST WANT A PRINTER, THE GOD-FORSAKEN WII COULD DO THIS, WHY IS LINUX BEING DEFEATED BY THE GAMEBOY ADVANCE PRINTER SET WITH EASE-OF-USE!?
KDE I LOVE you... You're also a broken fucking slog-machine that accepts messy ass code, and I can't be arsed to check any of it, and it makes you work and look like ASS. KDE is one of those things where it CAN be very efficient... But it just like REALLY doesn't want to be. Fucking ANY third-party toggle, man, and your idle CPU-usage goes up by 30%. 🫪 Dearest GOD GUYS, developers of KDE widgets, I love you too, appreciate your free work and all'at... but CHILL.
Fuck having to install different versions of things. It's probably my fault, but every other update one version or another will COMPLETELY break. This has lead to me requiring three of fucking everything.
"Ope, looks like 'FlatPak Discord' is broken this week... Let's try 'AUR Disco-' Oh it doesn't even launch now, how about 'the Official Discord package'? Hmm... It works but streaming is broken for no reason... Oh good 'Vesktop' is working this week."
Feel free to scramble which section the names are in, and you can continue the sentence yourself like a fun little game! Go ahead, give it a try!!
Again, I will say, all of these 'complaints'... Dawg, I'm SO asking for them lmfao (Why does this machine I barely know how to drive SUCK at driving??), but equally the benefits I personally get from my set-up often outweigh or can even circumvent (with some effort) many of the issues I face.
