From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Try and get the Focusrite Solo at 48k with Windows without using the awful software that comes with it, in Linux it's literally plug and play. It goes both ways, that's what Windows plebs don't understand. All the issues Windows plebs complain about in Linux, are also present in Windows: driver issues, updates breaking userspace, etc.
Those are common problems. What is not common is the complete lack of control and customization, the ads and telemetry data, and the dogshit workflows that Windows offers.
Attacking people because there are valid criticisms of Linux, which you haven’t refuted at all, shows how utterly stupid you are.
Yes there are valid criticisms of Windows. No that does not give you a pass to attack people who use it, they have made their own choice.
One device, which you admit works with the correct drivers, doesn’t remotely compare to a glaring flaw with audio that I can find first mentioned in 2002 still impacting Linux today.
I haven't attacked anyone... yet, but the cognitive dissonance of that first sentence, oh my! Do you have any self-awareness at all? I can't imagine contradicting myself in the same fucking sentence, lmao, you're straight up delusional my guy.
I explained why they are not valid criticisms and you're missing my point that it goes both ways, but anyway... thanks for that opening sentence and confirming your opinions don't merit consideration. I will no longer waste time conversing with you, not because you are ignorant but because you quite obviously lack critical thinking abilities.
Yes you clearly meant that in an endearing sort of way.
The only thing I infer with that is how limited Windows is as an OS and it's users are at understanding other computing concepts. We are in a Linux sub, no one here should take offense to it nor feel attacked by it. Regardless, if had I attacked someone or not, it is still hypocritical, and shows your lack of critical thinking to chastise me for attacking someone while simultaneously attacking me... I mean to say... that makes you stupid, objectively. You may want to address that, just saying.
Does it make you a patrician to use Linux? Are you a father figure now to society?
We plebeians are just waiting on your glory to shine upon us, o high one.
Are you offended that I am calling your knowledge into question over invalid criticisms? Instead of being offended, maybe take the time and learn from it. At the end of the day, if you want an extremely limited OS that spies on you, it's your life... but maybe you should reconsider participating in a Linux sublem.
Calling anybody a pleb means everything you say is discounted. You have an arrogance that’s wildly unhinged.
I wish you luck, o wise patrician. May the glory of Rome shine forever upon you.
I think deep down, this comment has is more true than not for the likes of you, and it's insecure users that lash out at this realization. It really sounds like you're projecting your insecurities around some type of superiority complex because you fail to measure up. You can deflect all you want, but I see you... your lack of honest debate and your deflections and projections... and it's honestly, pathetic. Let me give you some advice; try to be a better person.
P.S. And quit being such a fragile little bitch, you're offended by the term Windows pleb... that's the type of person you are, you might want to consider that, just saying.
