Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm 12 years into Linux on the desktop. It's amazing. Converted my non computer friend to it. My partner freaked when windows 10 tried to install itself years ago, and she switched. I play triple A games on it via steam. Our TV PC runs it. The experience is so much better I really don't get this mentality.
It's not a "mentality" - it's an opinion born from actual experience with broken Linux setups. I can find you literally hundreds of HN comments about all sorts of ways that their Linuxen have broken, and I can name a few dozen (possibly up to a hundred) myself.
Sounds like a skill issue tbh.
