I honestly don’t understand how people can still cope with using Linux in 2025. Like… why? Are you trying to punish yourself?

On Windows, I click install and boom—it works. On Linux, you have to summon the dark arts of sudo apt-get this and chmod that just to open your stupid text editor. Congrats, you’ve turned using your computer into unpaid IT labor.

Meanwhile, the rest of us on Windows are playing literally any game we want, running the best apps without crying about “compatibility layers,” and actually getting work done. Don’t even start with the “bloatware” nonsense either—nobody cares. My PC boots in 5 seconds, runs everything flawlessly, and doesn’t require me to join some obscure forum to fix basic problems like “why won’t my Wi-Fi work today?”

Linux users always act smug about being “tech-savvy,” but let’s be real: if your OS requires a cult-like Discord server just to troubleshoot why your sound card isn’t working, maybe it’s not as “superior” as you think.

So yeah. Windows > Linux. Always has been, always will be. Cope, seethe, and keep compiling your kernels while the rest of us are actually using our computers instead of worshipping them.

    I installed Mint on my laptop after the 11 update failed due to hardware issues I guess.

    I have no complaints. Not a one. Works great for me.

    Finally went full Linux on my home computer after previously dual booting with Windows, and I can’t believe I waited this long.

    Linux (well, by far most distros anyways) doesn’t spy on its users, and doesn’t require you to have an online account to install it. Linux also doesn’t have outrageous hardware requirements like the TPM and the latest CPUs that lead to people being forced to buy a new system every few years or so.
