They all suck in their own unique way! For me I can tolerate the way Linux sucks, and for others it’s something else. But I think we can all agree that bitching about operating systems is great catharsis.
Linux sucks for natural reasons. It’s easy to tolerate because it’s not trying to fuck with you, it’s just a consequence of being a hodgepodge of software written by nerds for nerds. Windows sucks for malicious reasons. Microsoft is intentionally making it worse, to make more money, and that pisses me off. MacOS sucks because it assumes you’re an idiot, and wants to protect itself from you. I may be an idiot, but that shouldn’t stop me from breaking my own machine, god damnit!
Mac won’t let me do what I want, and offers no explanation and the forums are filled with people telling me why what I want is wrong.
Windows has a way to do it, but it’s hidden behind 17 menus from 8 eras if UI design, and it just won’t shut the fuck up and listen to me. It has needless animations for everything, and trys so hard to be friendly that it’s just infuriating.
Linux let’s me do the thing. It gives no directions on how to do the thing, and if I do it wrong, it doesn’t even tell me that things are fucked until six months later when I discover I accidentally told it to write the kernel logs to the bootloader and everything is on fire.
I prefer punching myself in the gonads to being called stupid or jerked around, so that’s why I use Linux.
The sycophants angrily questioning why I want to do something my own way on the equipment I paid for was the most bizarro world thing, I ended up getting rid of that Mac in large part because of that type of attitude on the forums.
All three are shit. You can’t change my mind.
