MODERATORS
Fewer years than I've been using windows. 20 years of Linux, 25 years of Windows. I personally think the stigma that Linux has is due to the past. I would agree that it was difficult at points in the past.
The thing is that your 20 years greatly skews your perspective on what easy is compared to someone who has never used it. And I agree, it's never been better, but for a lot of people, it just isn't there yet.
My main issue with it is that it's so fractured, it's greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness OSS often lacks standardisation and Linux is a victim of that.
Its slowly getting there, I mean I think it's awesome that SystemD is used by so many distros, it's some commonality between them all.
But then you get Ubuntu trying to be smart and using dash, then it breaks scripts and I want to scream. So there are those actively making it worse, lol.
