There's always apologists that bring up "but modern Linux is simple and easy to use". And I'd agree to a certain amount that us is easy to use, but even today's Linux is so incredibly error-prone and fraught with obscure corner cases that aren't simple to the average computer user. Things where you are forced to tinker with obscure, oddly documented settings files that only a nerd with lots of time to burn can parse, understand and do anything with. Linux does require hacks, all the time and I wonder if Linux people just outright don't realize it or they willfully ignore it because it doesn't suit the narrative of "Linux is awesome and better than everything else".
