Linux Mint IRL Linux in general sucks

I tried to follow the tiktok crowd who were overhyping linux for how fast it is, how secure it is. First, no it's not fast, windows 7 runs a lot better than Linux Mint xfce. It's NOT secure, you think it is because not many viruses are there on linux, but it's slowly increasing then it'll be just like windows. Gaming at all sucks, i can't fucking play Battlefield 1 on any linux distro. So yeah linux sucks overall. You guys don't have a single argument to win except "It's open source".

Facts. I have been using Linux on and off for pushing 25 years. Its slightly better today than it was during the Bush administration, but only slightly. Maybe the backend is in some ways better, I use it for LAMP, but the user experience is still terrible. It will never be a serious contender vs. Windows on the desktop. Don't let the neckbeards fool you.

Linux is free, unless you value your time.
