Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Let's watch this guy get crucified.
Zero awareness of what linux actually is or means.
No clue what DE they're using. Talks about "linux UI".
Clearly some borked distro problems, none of this would happen on any modern user-oriented distro.
Blatantly consumerist attitude towards a FOSS product.
To the last one, OP, go eat shit. You can pay Apple however much they ask you, and be their happy slave, or you can keep allowing windows to push their big fat aDs down your throat. Nobody has forced you to use linux.
Oh, and the more of such garbage users like you switch back to windows, the better for us. We're never planning to run this as s for-profit catering to every Karen's demands. We just kick Karens out of this bar while continuing enjoying our hard liquor.
Btw, all of this reads like a copypasta from like a decade ago, which I suspect it might just be.
Personal experience:
I run a triple monitor setup out of a Linux laptop with Nvidia. E.g. my hardware couldn't be worse. When I replug monitors all my windows readjust to where they were before unplugging. E.g. I can unplug and plug back in my laptop without needing to rearrange everything. Not to mention the order never mattered.
I have color profiles for my monitors and can download them from somewhere too. Or do manual calibration. I don't bother, colors are fine.
I played multiple games on steam on this thing. They run just as good as on windows. Although online games aren't supported well, so I dual-boot.
UI is perfect because I tweaked the living hell out of my gnome and customized colors to my liking. Neither would be possible on windows or mac. But also out of the box experience on gnome is fairly decent. Comparable to win/mac.
I did not need much effort to get any of that working. Install your distro and go go go.
