You're saying this to someone who took the time to format a drive to install Linux, read up on recommended partition structure, and take the time tweaking desktop settings to my preference, in genuine hope it would become a daily driver so I could stop using Windows. All of that effort still wasn't enough.

The quote wasn't pointed to you, but it was a generalized view of how seeking help turns out. Your above comment, and this one, are showing the same thing: You, and Linux users in general, need only the tiniest justification to belittle someone for not being a 100% Linux devotee/apologist.

I sounds like you suffer from internalized proprietary.

It was a response to me. Yeah I don't really understand people who claim to have put a lot of effort into using Linux and then had to switch back after truly giving it a shot. Because that describes my experience with it 15 years ago. The improvements since then are enormous, yet people always seem to expect me to believe that in fact no, it's not just a handful of issues/adjustments. It's actually still unusable. I'm sure writing this makes me a monstrous vitriolic asshole but whatever. It doesn't. We both know windows has a fuckton of issues. Being used to them doesn't erase them.
