Are you one of those fanboys incapable to see anything wrong in the things they like?

I’ve been using Linux as a daily driver for the last twenty years. Linux has plenty of issues that no one bothers to fix because there’s been some workaround since day one. The philosophy seems to be still they are nerds, they’ll figure it out.

Beginner distros are even worse, once you’re past the absolute beginner phase and start to notice what I call “the fuck you features” you start to hate linux as much as windows, for example, sound always starts with a fade in so notification sounds get muted, that’s because there’s an energy savings option active by default, you’ll find dozens of forum posts telling you how to fix it except, fuck you, none of them work anymore because that configuration file is not there anymore and you must create it and figure out what to write in it.

Another example, celluloid opens subtitles by default, you don’t want that? Fuck you, create a configuration file somewhere and good luck finding out what to write in it. You end up installing vlc.

Things like these has been my experience with linux for the last 15 years.

I’m already putting Mint in a usb stick, I’ve been at it the entire day and every minute has been an uphill battle.

Every time something new worked, it did half way and needed a work around. Last one, after managing to get samba working properly, was that video players refused to play anything, the solution was a workaround from 4 years ago, to delete some parameters in the launcher. Next problem was the codecs you can’t install from the software centre.
