That's not exactly the whole truth though. There are tons of issues with desktop Linux lurking in the background, waiting to bite you. Even something as simple as changing one your monitors might land you in deep trouble, or a printer that somehow doesn't work.
- broodbucket 5y agoOf course, but that's true of everything you can use. Linux has the same excellent printer stack as macOS. Never had any issues with monitors. I think the biggest difference is that if something goes wrong, the availability and simplicity of documentation is way worse than Windows/Mac for the most part. The upside is that sometimes the level of access you have to bits and pieces lets you fix stuff that wouldn't be possible on other platforms. For the average user that's pretty irrelevant, though. I don't really buy the general concept that Linux is boobytrapped any more than other OSes.
