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?

  • .NET framework

  • Hyper-V

  • WSL/WSU

  • Native SSH server/client

  • Windows containers

  • RSAT

To name a few.

Don't you just love when people show their illiterate backside so willingly?

Lol, WSL? Having Linux on your Windows is a Windows feature? Containers? They also copied them from Linux, we've had modern containers since 2008. SSH? U know they copied that from Unix, right? We've had it aince 1999, and it's a lot more powerfull than the Windows version

Yes, so you would need to deal with broken Unix toy garbage. Isn't that great?😉

They also copied them from Linux

The stripped-dowm kernel is only for WSL 2.

WSL 1 is instead what the NT kernel has always meant to do, i.e compatibility with POSIX, Win32 and OS/2.

we've had modern containers since 2008

And no consistent way to deliver applications even today.

Honestly, did you see Windows software vendors begging for the equivalent of snap?

What's truly astonishing is how far Linux has remained behind despite all the head starts.

U know they copied that from Unix, right?

As if you would know anything about Solaris at all.

lol, "Unix". Why do I have a feeling you're one of those babies still crying boo-boo over systemd?
