My lack of understanding of your sentence is exactly why I'll never bother with Linux. It may be amazing and triple my PCs speed but I simply don't have time (or motivation) to learn the vocabulary, let alone how things actually work.

Windows may be worse than Linux, but I can install it and be playing any game I want within a few hours with no research. I just cba with anything that I have to think about for more than 2seconds when I want to use my PC, it exists for me to kill time (and occasionally various admin tasks) and I don't have any need to complicate life further by using Linux and having to keep up with the latest ssh or whatever you're talking about.

honestly, do what makes you happy. I may eat and breath Linux but its my choice. yours is valid too. I disassociate from anyone who attack people and not their OS's issues. there are people who just want to make hardware and software better, (FSF is hard to advocate for but I generally do), the losers who verbally harass people for not using Linux are culturally destructive (especially to Linux).

Agree with everything you've written. Linux users are frequently the worst thing about it, I'm sure lots are reasonable but seeing (the vocal part of) the community really puts me off becoming a part of it.

Nice to see that my experience isn't reflective of all users though, thanks mate :)

I dare to bet that through this single line of comments, you have converted more people to Linux than any of those Linux zealots have done in their lifetime.

Actually... I know you have no knowledge. But to explain to you how nonsese it is.

On Linux you have a greater experience of plug and play. You just open the store app and install any application you want. Done. Not sure why you need to learn any vocabulary and not sure why you think you need that after I said that you don't need it. Its all GUI. Games just install and work. You only need to have Steam or Lutris. Faster to install Games than on Windows tbh.

On Windows you need to search the whole web through fake ads and non official fake apps to get what you want. At worse, malware is installed within seconds.
