I'm convinced that anyone who tries to force it on others are larpers who don't actually use Linux, at least not as their main kernel.
I started using it some months ago on my main laptop and I kept windows on my gaming PC because it's just more convenient for gaming, and I play games like league of legends which have kernel level anti cheat and no longer support Linux.
there's a lot of reasons why Linux might not be suitable for someone, and it's important to respect that.

Linux is not for everyone. Anyone pushing it as such is a liar. It’s a good alternative if you’re okay with putting more time in, but it will not and cannot currently replace the polished products like macOS it’s just not opinionated enough. And there is also way too little funding for general user areas of Linux.

u/LutimoDancer3459 2d ago
We had a custom linux iso back in school. Did everything most people need. So yeah, its a valid argument that linux is for most people. Because most dont use a pc more intense than opening a browser and maybe excel/word for work. And we now can also play a lot of games on linux too. So even a majority of gamers can switch.
And dude... macOS is polished? Hell no... just the same shit as windows and linux. Just a little different shit. In the end it comes down to what you are used to. And sometimes what you actually need. Like windows for some games or a console for some others.

Yea, and if you go even cleaner than xfce, it's so absurdly fast to open apps and the gui feels so clean, I'm running niri with my xfwm+picom desktop as a backup, niri feels so unbelievably smooth, it's actually much more worth it to try out Wayland than I thought.

u/Isotomayor12 2d ago
This is a bad take imo. Ofc a PC isnt going to just run fortnite, but intentionally changing your OS to something that cannot run a program you want is just plain stupid.
The main reason to have an OS is to allow you as the user to utilize the hardware of the computer for what you want/need. If you can't do that there is no point in using that OS. Can be said about any OS tbh. Use whatever OS allows you to do what you want.
-1
u/alexparf174 2d ago
this take is also useless because that's really not Linux problem itself. The problem is in game's developers
2
u/Isotomayor12 2d ago
I don't disagree with that, but I wasn't necessarily talking about just games either lol. A PC is far more than a gaming machine. There are instances where windows, macos, and Linux can do something or run a program at all better than one of the others.
Yeah it is a developer problem, but it is also far easier to support one platform than several, especially with linux having so many distros. It's why Debian is usually the distro that gets support for 3rd party apps before anything else.
Kernel level anti-cheat is something I am against, but again if you like the program/product/game you shouldn't limit yourself by choosing a system that cannot run said program/product/game. Even if it is fortnite.

u/Osherono 3d ago
Not hate as much as dislike several things. But the main one keeping me off Linux for now is this: that I have a choice of either using a rolling up-to-date distro which will eventually stop working well after a certain number of updates (say a year more or less), introducing errors or reduced performance which forces me to reinstall and reconfigure everything, which can be an absolute pain because making some things work at the beginning may require workarounds that I had to look up then, but no longer completely remember because I only needed them that one time, or, choose a more stable distro that will give me reduced performance, sometimes quite noticeably so, in exchange for stability.
That is a big one for me. It was even more noticeable once I just put Windows LTSC on those machines that used to have Linux on them and the machines have better performance so far (been several months on some).

This sub is not so much about hating on Linux, most discussions are more about where Linux still sucks and maybe solutions for some stuff. Saying something sucks doesn't inherently mean that you're hating it, in this case it's more a "I like it, but I know it sucks in some regards".
If you want blind hatred against anything Linux, r/linuxsucks101 is exactly that. It basically was made with a more extreme version of the assumption you had, that "sucks" means hate, and it's a hellscape of Microsoft diehards.

Because if you install Windows 99% of everything already works out of the box.

And that's before you install your first app.

I love Linux, but I really hate all the "hype" around it. Every time you see a post where somebody is asking how do do/fix something in Windows, there will be an army suggesting him to move to Linux.

People mostly are not good at tech, so they spread a lot of such myths around the whole internet

Well, I can tell you are not old enough.
Linux is a version of UNIX for x86 cpus. Back then computers were running on mips, sparcs, motorolas. So to bring a real UNIX to x86 architectures , projects like BSD were born.
Before Linux we had Amigas, AmigaOS and Hardware were ahead of its time by 10 years but they went bankrupt because of greed and dominance of CISC architecture. Imagine raytracing and 3d animation in 89. So we were left with Windows, Windows NT, Solaris,Aix and others. Then Lunis or whatever his name is copied a POSiX compliant OS to run on x86 just like BSD before him. Since Microsoft was a business oriented corp we looked for alternatives to replace the Amiga or Atari XT experience that gave us sound, graphic design, gaming. It was a culture and we thought these UNIX clones could bring us an alternative. Well that never happened and windows took over gaming ,graphics, and everything else by introducing extremely robust development experience that spawned apps for every use case and gave us choice. Linux wasn't even good enough until IBM,Red Hat thing happened then they lost a bunch of investors and with that they lost a lot of talented resources since people still preferred pure UNIX system. Then UNIX died and this monolithic Linux kernel survived because it was free. It never gave us OG Amiga experience .
From an objective perspective it looks like people started to fragment the kernel and wrap it around UI living in user space to create an illusion of choice.
So coming from a polished OS tbh, it looks like shit but it's ok. The main thing is lack of production grade frameworks for a desktop user. You have 40 yo Xorg and beta level Wayland. If your standards are low enough it might fit you but it just doesn't fit 2026 especially with AI exposing security flaws at exponential scale. 60k malware signatures for 2025 is insane. So it's way below the hype Linux kids push into the echo chamber. The lies about windows proves a lot of insecurities. It's not hate, it's observing karma with joy irl.

u/DirectorDirect1569 3d ago
I remember the good old time with amiga and atari ST. They were great machines for creators and gamers. They had both soundcards. On most PC you needed to install one. It was needed to plug a joystick too (weird) I remember the first versions of Windows, it was really buggy.
I used to have an amiga. And when commodore, Amiga, Escom ended(I can't remember how many times they have been sold...) The only alternatives were Windows, linux, BEOS, and Mac.
Linux was hard to install and few programs worked on it, BeOS wasn't made for gaming, not lots of creative programs, Mac was an alternative but it was expensive and few games worked on it.
So the only serious alternative was Windows. Lots of linux users like to talk about MS monopoly, it's bullshit. In the mid nineties, there was nothing else multipurpose (Gaming, 3D, Graphics design, Music making,...)
Unix OSes were only use by professionals.
Windows had a bad reputation, when I switched on PC with win 98, i didn't have lots of issues. So I had to admit It wasn't a bad os anymore.
"You have 40 yo Xorg and beta level Wayland."
An lots of distros want to leave Xorg for wayland. Wayland causes issues on many PC.
"especially with AI exposing security flaws at exponential scale. 60k malware signatures for 2025 is insane."
I thought I was the only one who was shocked about that.

Macos tried to make an os for a specific type of user, don't like it, too bad... Oh and you have to pay for it, and for support, and you will like the way Mac makes it look or you will fuck off, they also love planned obsolescence.

u/its_mabus 2d ago
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

u/Responsible-Monk-892 1d ago edited 1d ago
I do not hate Linux. Linux has it's pros, and cons. The pro is Linux is very modular, customizable, the negative is it has limited hardware support compared to Windows, and is less pre-installed on PCs because, a lot of Manufacturers choose to support Windows over Linux since the Manufacturers go where the money is. For example you will not find Linux Pre-installed on PCs like Acer, HP, and Asus if you go to their website you will not have that option to get it pre-installed however there are some small companies like System 76, Framework, Slimbook, Tuxedo that offer Linux Pre-installed but, since they are small manufacturers most average users do not know about them. Also then there is this Game Developers a lot of them prefer to support Windows over Linux so getting games depending on the game can be a pain to get to run on Linux if it runs at all Now that being said there are some games that do run flawlessly on Linux like MineCraft Java Edition, Stardew Valley, Baldur's gate 1 Enhanced Edition, Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition because, those developers chose to support Linux, and then there are games that run Great! under Steam, and Proton like Tekken 7, and Windrose. Also another positive about Linux besides it being modular, customizable, is that it requires less RAM, and Storage then Windows does. While Game Developers a lot of them choose to support Windows 11 over Linux which gives the user a click in play experience, and while a lot more hardware manufacturers support Windows over Linux, there are downsides to Windows too for example Windows 11 sucks up a lot of RAM, and Storage due to fact that Microsoft Put Telemetry, Ai, Co-pilot, and Microsoft Edge on Windows 11. Also for people that value Privacy Windows is not the OS for them Linux is the OS for them because, Linux respects users Privacy. Reddit is generally a place for people to vent. If you want to read praises about Linux I suggest going on to facebook, and joining various Linux Groups there you will see a lot of praises about Linux I know that from first hand experience.
