The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

    The OP’s post is asking why people leave Linux… if you cannot handle an honest response to the post, and consider it slander, that’s your problem.

    If you cannot understand by what I’ve already written that I fixed the issues, and are unable to work out for yourself that means the hardware is compatible after necessary fixes, that’s also your problem.

    Also, my comments are in writing, so it would be libel, not slander. If you’re going to accuse me of something, be accurate.

    Now I’m blocking you. Go whine at someone else.

    edit: I didn’t even mention the times since the original fixes when doing a simple, completely normal system update broke one thing or another and had to figure that out. This is the reality linux fanbois hate to see.

      I was replying to your claim about the command line “being a deal breaker for many”, when I made the counter-claim that it’s basically irrelevant, because if you’re using the right distro on the right hardware, then you would never have to touch the command line.

      If you cannot understand by what I’ve already written that I fixed the issues, and are unable to work out for yourself that means the hardware is compatible after necessary fixes, that’s also your problem.

      If you had LINUX-FRIENDLY hardware then you wouldn’t even need to go thru hoops, assuming you’re using a sensible distro. The fact that you had to do a bunch of fixes simply proves that your hardware wasn’t Linux-friendly in the first place, OR you’re using a distro that’s not appropriate for your hardware.

      Say you bought a brand new bleeding-edge machine that just came out with a new CPU architecture or something. Zorin, which would normally be fine, would probably not be ideal in this instance, because it’s based on Ubuntu, which uses outdated packages. So in this instance, you may need a distro with a more recent kernel. That is why I keep reiterating you need both the right hardware AND the right distro for YOUR situation. Zorin was just an example of a newbie-friendly distro - it doesn’t necessarily mean its the right OS for you and your hardware.

      But this is also why I keep insisting on “Linux-friendly” hardware - if you don’t know what’s Linux-friendly and don’t want to go thru hoops trying to get basic shit working on random systems, try getting a machine from System76 and then tell me whether or not you were forced to use the command line for basic tasks.

      But don’t just go buy some random hardware without doing your research first, and then proceed to install Linux on it, and then whine about having to use the command line.

      I didn’t even mention the times since the original fixes when doing a simple, completely normal system update broke one thing or another and had to figure that out. This is the reality linux fanbois hate to see.

      Lmao, you’re acting as if that doesn’t occur on Windows at all. Practically every Windows update is a shitshow. Just see the latest Bitlocker update botch-up, or the print spooler patch, which needed another patch, which needed yet another patch. Or the time when Windows decided to delete all your documents? Yeah, fun times. This is the reality M$ fanbois hate to see.
