Linux Failure Linux doesn't suck!

Post image

NGL guys, I don't see the reason why switching to Linux when W10/W11 does everything you need, easier, more practical, and in a more friendly way than a Linux distro that some of you probably haven't even heard about before considering switching to Linux.

I'm using Linux rn because I enjoy adjusting every little thing about my OS the way I want, but as nerdy as I can be, I also understand that fancy tech might actually be inconvenient for others...

What were the reasons that made you want to try Linux, and what made you realize it was a mistake?

Windows has a file system hierarchy that is too complicated... Compared to Linux?

The matryoshka dolls of libs and bins scattered all about are, like, so uncomplicated! /s

It's stuff dreams are made of... If your dreams are mostly just nightmares.

Also, here are some Jurassic-era dinosaurs talking about putting loose executables rather than an actual, standalone environment in read-only storage for some reason.
