I'm sure you can see how condescending your comment is, you basically went into discrediting me instantly. For the sake of argument - I've been windows user since 1998 and Linux user since 2005.

I used it for a long time. I had problems with nvidia drivers, before that I had problems with modem drivers and the list goes on, from finding where xorg.conf is to which thing I need to modify so that I can have multiple monitors running. I tried many distros, I used i3wm for extended period of time until the keyboard navigation only started to bore me.

I believe my "membership card" has been shown.

Despite the problems, PopOS and Ubuntu have been very stable for me for the past 2.5 years. Problem is also often in users, who are quick to blame software when it doesn't work the way they imagined it must work. I haven't used software that instantly works great. However, for development (and running containers in particular), Linux has been stable and a total workhorse. I can even put up with uglier UI. It's also the only OS that I can shut down forcibly via button and it won't fall apart.

Could it be that the, often loud minority of angry users, simply reports problems because:

1. they imply knowledge and thus earn internet fame points? 2. they purposely twist the truth because they can? 3. they aren't particularly advanced users to begin with?




Lol, just saw this now. Yeah, I went into discrediting you instantly because I have used Linux for over a decade and continue to use it daily, and I know you are wrong. I don't really care what you think.
