> this hobbyist toy. Linux is fundamentally not ready for anyone who has needs more than a Chromebook Wow, piss right off you to you, too. Linux is ready for me, and has been for decades. By your logic, I need nothing but a Chromebook. Linux is imperfect, like you, but it's never been an ass.

I’ve used Linux since 2011; I know all about it; and I would recommend it to nobody because the community can hear no criticism, bear no criticism, and self-rationalizes everything. Sometimes it takes a bold stance to make a point against one of the most toxic, delusional, and self-righteous communities online. For my part, I’m back on Windows and Mac. Screw the community’s arrogance more than the project. The community, as even the comments here show, does not deserve a victory.

  I think it’s clear that today’s “desktop Linux” distributions are not what you want. That’s ok. Your criticisms come from the point of view of a usage that is poorly supported. Android is perhaps the closest to what you seem to want, although even it is much more aggressive about deprecating APIs, ABIs, and features than Windows. The is no Linux distribution today that even attempts to deliver the interface stability you appear to want. And given the development model and business structures involved, I think it’s unlikely there ever will be. You, and the many computer users like you, will probably never have a suitable Linux distribution. That’s an unfortunate reality. It’s not your fault: what you want is reasonable, but Linux isn’t set up to deliver it.

Sometimes it takes a bold stance to make a point against one of the most toxic, delusional, and self-righteous communities online. if one’s “criticism” is snarky or just plain needlessly rude, one shouldn’t be surprised when they receive the same in return, this is extremely basic human behavior. very very basic. we all learn this in like elementary school, if you’re rude, people will treat you like a rude person. it’s not shocking and it’s not unexpected. its extremely basic social shit learned by even small children.

  Which community can you walk into telling everyone that everything they care about is shit and they are shit and will never make it, and they will take it productively? I Certainly admit that some Linux users are heavily in denial about linux's flaws, and don't take criticisms healthily, but this is a trait in humanity, not just in Linux users. If your version of diplomacy is starting off a meeting with urinating on their flag, don't say diplomacy never works because no other countries can take criticism.
