    I always hate it when people talk about “eventual issues that people will encounter on Linux”.

    As if Windows doesn’t have those of varying degrees. Usually because Microsoft pushes out an update that breaks things.

      When I used windows, I would have issues every other update.

      With Linux it’s like once a year, unless I do something stupid to my own system with sudo.

        Pretty much my experience, though I didn’t want to give the guy I was replying to any personal anecdotes lol.

      So then what’s the fucking difference if they’re bitching about their issues with Windows versus bitching about their issues with Linux? Doesn’t that bring us back to the original post? Let people complain. If they’re going to have issues either way and bitch either way, why the fuck do you have to evangelize them to get them to shut up about the ones you’re ideologically opposed to? What are you really doing other than having them bitch about something you feel happy about? You haven’t materially made their life better, they still have computer issues they hate, but now they just have a smaller number of people they can turn to for help. Great job.

        If the issue is just “my PC is becoming slow, it’s full of annoying AI and i don’t want X microft bullshit” reccomensing Linux will totally help tbf
