The joke used to go: Windows users blame Microsoft, Mac users blame themselves.
(Linux users just fix the problem on their own.)
I concur with other posters saying that Mac users ranted a lot when going from Mac OS 9 to OS X 10.0, and they had a lot to rant about. OS X felt slow and didn't support lots of devices, and was a brand new paradigm of computing for them at the time. Now, a lot of stuff just works, much like Mac OS felt like it did.

- Mikeb85 13y agoDepends at what stage they're at in their Linux adventures... Some will try a new distro with better defaults, others will just change their set-up themselves...
- dman 13y agoAgree with this - switched to dwm and setup some config files and am now unaffected by the changes blowing through gnome, unity, kde etc.
- pan69 13y agoWell, since GNOME has gone to shits and Unity is pretty much a joke, there has been quite a bit of ranting in Linux community and switching distros is not going to solve one's problems. Actually, that's not true, I've recently switched to XUbuntu. :)
- jedrek 13y agoI've been using Linux on and off since the late 90s, and there has never been a period when there hasn't been quite a bit of ranting.
- pmelendez 13y ago>"(Linux users just fix the problem on their own.)" This is true only because 99% of linux users are power users. When/if the user-base grow you will see a change on that.
- leothekim 13y ago>"This is true only because 99% of linux users are power users." My point exactly.
