Linux doesn't suck. What sucks is using anything new after using something else for years. As a long time Linux user I am used to its idiosyncrasies and having to use Windows or Mac is painful.

I generally agree with you and I am trying to love Linux. But itโ€™s hard when even the RBG keyboard doesnโ€™t work. Just one example. Not gonna go on a rant. But yeah. On windows that stuff just works.

And itโ€™s the small things that eventually turn people away.

On windows that stuff just works.

Not really, it "just works" after you install some sort of proprietary crap software that is a couple of hundred MB from the hardware vendor, that opens up a few security holes and is never patched and is constantly in your system tray.

Yeah, I know. But at least it works then.
