>Which issues? On which hardware?
Does it really matter that much which exact issues, on an opinion piece? Is he the first Linux user to have issues with Wayland and Nvidia? Come on, be reasonable and assume good faith, no need to be a stickler.
> If you install Linux on a random Windows-certified laptop, you should expect troubles
Where does it say you should expect troubles? Every article and post online is praising that Linux works just as good or even better than Windows, causing most of non-technical people to hop on the Linux hype train and immediately be disappointed with various issues around UI scaling, HW acceleration, Nvidia, Wayland, etc.
>and don't blame others for them
Who has he blamed for his problems? Which individuals? Read his text again. To me it reads that he had issues with Linux but non with W11, no victim blaming.

Yes, Linux is better than Windows in many ways, and many people have a good reason to say that. Maybe they should always add that you should choose your hardware carefully, which I did above. > no victim blaming The victims in this case are Linux developers and the whole Linux community, which is harmed by unsubstantiated claims that Linux doesn't work reliably. Nobody guaranteed ever that any OS would work on all hardware in the world. I'm tired of this myth. > Does it really matter that much which exact issues, on an opinion piece? What if I write an opinion piece that Windows is extremely buggy and slow on my unspecified hardware (which happens to be, e.g., a MacBook or oldest Raspberry Pi)? Does such "opinion piece" bring anything useful to the audience?
