    Hear hear! It’s wild to see what Mac and Windows users put up with. The Linux experience may sometimes be cryptic and frustrating, but at least I know I’m not paying for the privilege of being shat on by a large corporation.

        For real, installing Linux nowadays is pretty painless for the most part, windows has this 27 stage process for opting out of a online account.

        Like both have issues, you’re just used to the windows issues, but those are progressively getting more intrusive.

          installing the easier linux distros has been easier than windows since like 2004. I never understood the “it’s hard to install” out of everything else that may be legit to complain about

          the only thing I can guess is the people that say that are the people that can’t get into their bios and do not know how to reformat windows either.

        It hit my eye as well, but I am sure there is a way to present it without being downvoted.
