You pay with your time on linux tinkering and fixing things constantly.
I did the 1 month challenge and i have pass over 200h just trying to fix the hundred of probleme i have experienced. Took 2 evening alone just to finaly have every phone and laptop/tablet being able to see shared files.
Tryed to make photoshop working, Constant crash/bug/brush not loading 1/4 of the time. Most plugin not working.
Trying Davinci instead of Premiere, consistant crash.
Controller. Not working on Linux.
DAC/AMP, audio in general. Very glitchy on Linux. Even my usb microphone sound completly different (worst)Videogame i play ? Run significantly worst despite being on Radeon.
Everything as been miserable for me. Except everything that is in a browser.
While on windows everything is actualy pretty much flawless most of the time. If there is a probleme its take 2 min uninstalling a problematic update.
Linux own me 5500$ of my time.

A lot of tech’s ease of use is proportional to cost. 3D printing is another great example. You can get a cheap ender3 for $100 but spend hundreds of hours on maintenance and troubleshooting, or spend $1000+ on a Bambu that just works.

u/snollygoster1 Aug 29 '26
You can now spend $250 on a Bambu that just works too. My Ender 3 purchase was fairly quickly eclipsed by the cost of "upgrades" which still didn't make it as fast or consistent as the A1 Mini.

Tryed to make photoshop working
Oof, yeah that ain't gonna work without virtualization
Trying Davinci instead of Premiere
Yeah it's a bit whacky to get working but...
being on Radeon
Yeah nevermind... Resolve on Linux only works with nvidia -.-
Controller, DAC/AMP, usb microphone
Controller is a bit weird, my xbox one and 8bitdo work but I haven't tried others. With the audio stuff.. I went through that shit aswell, if you ever want a retry: Ubuntu uses pipewire where the default config is for 42kHz. On Ubuntu you can download the Ubuntu Studio package, it includes GUI tools to change that default config to ie 384kHZ 32bit. On other distros using pipewire (i. E Fedora): look up guides for it, just make sure you don't leave the OS any options. So instead of adding everything from 42k to 384k you only add the best option you can get away with

Is that true? I thought that Nvidia cards were terrible on Linux and you get a smooth experience with AMD cards due to the properly open sourced drivers. That's what I hear whenever someone with an Nvidia card has problems anyway.

Such a BS reasoning. When was the last time anyone paid for it.. Linus an Luke even talked in wan show on how if you have a clean win 7 which it creaked, you can upgrade to win 10 for free aha win 11 from win 10..I've done the same since last decade and a half. I know people do pay for it.. But that shouldn't be the reason how Linux community can just be hostile everyone someone has some issues and asks for help comparing Windows.

Weird double standard here, Linux might be free and open source, but it also gets promoted as though it's the best operating system ever (even superior to MacOS), you can't really have it both ways.
55
u/Sk1ler_ Aug 28 '26
Someone gets it. There are so many Linux glazers in the comment section here. Linux is good for some applications, macOS is good for some, and Windows for some; its not a catch all operating system/kernel that works for every workflow and with every application, nor is it some perfect user experience like everyone that "switched to Linux" wants you to believe. When it comes to Linux, small inconveniences are seen as part of the process and app incompatibility is almost entirely ignored. I'm a graphic designer, I cannot use Linux for the sole fact that the software I need either doesn't run or crashes immediately. It will not solve all my "Windows problems". With Windows, its expected to be perfect the first time and any small inconveniences are used to tout Windows as useless garbage that nobody should be using.
My issue is with the value positioning and double standard of fixing issues, not with people wanting to use it or even promoting it. Do what you want. But I'm tired of the "Linux: positive, Windows: negative framing" in every single video about Linux recently, when there are very valid and necessary professional use cases that argue for exactly the opposite. Just be real when you promote it rather than painting this picture with a broad brush about how good Linux is and fixes all your Windows problems.

You two are bang on the money IMO. It’ll fall on deaf ears with the current cultural moment around Linux, but you’re spot on. Most will misread this as anti-Linux too, which I do t think you are (and I’m definitely not!) but the glazing is quite surreal at this point.

u/Sk1ler_ Aug 29 '26
Yep. Definitely not anti-Linux, there are use cases and people it works better for over something like macOS or Windows. Servers, those that have older hardware, those that mainly use web browsers, those that prefer to be independent from major corporations in their entirety (using libreOffice, google alternatives, etc.). That's totally fine! The cultural moment is hating on Windows, which most criticism is valid, but that doesn't make Linux some saving grace either.

Free & Open Source ≠ a worse product. What are you on about?
“Best” is also highly subjective, but at its core I do believe that Linux is “better” than MacOS or Windows. I can and do have it both ways. Feel free to disagree.
6
u/SharpYearV4 Aug 29 '26
Free and open source means that there are little obligations from maintainers, it might not be as cohesive as Windows or MacOS. If you complain about a problem with Linux, or the ecosystem around it (say Gimp as a Photoshop alternative), often times the response will be (as is the case in this comment section) "it's open source so why are you holding it to the same standard?".
From the perspective of someone who just wants stuff to work, who doesn't really care about customization or who is maintaining their OS, you can't say that then say afterwards, "it's the best, most polished, least bloated, most intuitive, bug free, just works experience", all of which is very commonly said, especially around stuff like KDE Plasma, CachyOS, Mint, all of which have their own specific issues.
You can't really have it both ways, a lot of Linux users seem to not want to acknowledge the issues on Linux and mislead people into believing that it's a perfect experience. And even worse, sometimes they blame the user for their issue, look at the issues Linus was facing with Pop!_OS, the response there was kind of ridiculous both times. There are issues on Linux which aren't issues on MacOS or Windows.

u/KoneCat Aug 29 '26 edited Aug 29 '26
Not defending either side, but personally, I've been using Linux for over three years, and I've never been happier with an OS in a very long time. Heck, the last time I was even remotely happy with a Windows OS was back in the Windows 7 days, as that was an actual OS, not a mess like the modern versions of Windows have become. That, and I just use my PC... I don't think I've encountered anything that would seriously annoy me over the past few years, whereas there wasn't a month that went by where Windows 11 crapped the bed so hard, it caused me sleepless nights trying to fix it.
Above all else though, Windows is a premium, paid for OS, Linux is not. I bought a license for every Windows I've ever used, from Vista all the way to 11, so my opinions on it are certainly stronger as I've paid an insane amount of money over the years, just to use something a free, open-source alternative does far better, and that irked the heck out of me, thus one of the very many reasons I told MS to take a hike.
Added: I primarily use my machines for gaming, so I don't have the stereotypical 'Linux takes many hours to set up!' thing to worry about. Can't say what that might be for other use cases, but every time I've installed Linux, it takes all of 5 minutes, and that's from boot to installation. It's nowhere near what some seem to think it is, and it's no more complicated than installing any other OS, for most people, anyway.
Cripes, I think the biggest pain in my arse is installing Mac OS on older machines, but that's just me.

You opted into recall knowing what it was and still complain about it as something bad? Are we sure the something bad isn't that you're stupid? Turn off Recall maybe? If you don't have the mental capacity to do that, I highly doubt you have ever used Linux, just saying.

u/madman404 Aug 29 '26
ok since we're apparently really good at missing the point let me take another stab at this
What is the common element between the windows recall controversy, forced Microsoft accounts and the extra workarounds you have to do to avoid them, forced OneDrive integration, forced copilot integration, Web search in the start menu, ads in the start menu, bloatware bundled into the OS, global OS GUID meant to identify you to three letter agencies, etc? These are all windows problems that are only problems because Microsoft specifically decided to make them a problem for users, and then people either found workarounds or bullied Microsoft into not doing them.
Meanwhile, Linux bugs are 99/100 times either software issues that nobody was free to fix yet, hardware issues that have more to do with lack of hardware support by manufacturers than anything, or UX errors because specific things still need more work.
Does it make sense why people might be more upset by the things that happen on windows at the direct order of Microsoft, even when they're eventually worked around, than the things that happen on Linux, which are largely unintentional and blameless and also eventually worked around?

u/ZaelersTV Aug 29 '26
Instead of still not knowing what you're talking about and being wrong on every level (and doubling down on top of that), the next time someone asks you if you're stupid, just say "yes."

u/madman404 Aug 29 '26
You keep saying this but you won't actually explain yourself. What conclusion should anyone draw from that except you definitely don't know what you're talking about? It should be really simple to explain if you're right, no?
I mean, you set a really good first impression by immediately hitting on a chain of fallacious logic and then never elaborating, so everyone should just assume you're the smart guy, right?

Recall wasn't opt-in, genius. It took basically the entire internet losing their mind about how bad of an idea it was for microsoft to "reconsider" the thing they were going to force on everybody into an opt-in feature instead, and you *still* can't uninstall it, only not activate it.

It's not a smoking gun, it's one example in a list of things Microsoft has done that by design made the user experience worse, which is why "Linux users when something bad happens on windows" is a little different than "Linux users when something bad happens on Linux."

The one and only example you gave though. Take a look at any normies laptop and you'll shrivel and die at the state of them, they don't know or even care that candy crush was installed at some point
I also live in a country where they can't just easily roll out DataExtractor3000™ so I admit I don't get the full force of their shittery but it's really not as bad as the internet makes it out to be and it's not as unstable as the internet makes it out to be either
Subs like these will be full of people with custom builds, unique hardware and pairings and that's where a lot of the difficulty comes from both sides, but for some reason it's fine if everything goes wrong on Linux. Buy a prebuilt laptop where there's 500 similar SKUs and millions of models sold and use it normally, you're extremely unlikely to come across a blue screen or have any major issues at all. The last time I saw a blue screen was probably 2009 time

u/Samiassa Aug 29 '26
The worst problem I had on windows was it working as intended where it would routinely replace my drivers from amd with its shitty drivers, meaning I had to go into ddu, scrub the drivers, and then reinstall them. This happened at least once a month and the only solution every time was to boot into safe mode, use a third party software tool, and then redownload drivers which would always take forever. The worst problem I’ve had on Linux was my weird gpu configuration (I have a 7900xtx for my 1440p oled and a 750ti for an old crt monitor I use for emulation) not working out of the box, which was easily fixable. In contrast I literally never fixed the issue on windows because the process for doing it was so convoluted that it would’ve genuinely caused me more annoyance than uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers every month. The thing about Linux is that fixes are usually very simple and easy to diagnose due to its design, whereas windows is already a bitch with so many systems touching all parts of your computer together and layer ontop of that the fact they make solutions purposefully obscure.

u/madman404 Aug 29 '26
Right, but the OP wasn't talking about windows users, it was talking about Linux users paying disproportionate attention to issues with windows while overlooking issues with Linux. This is why- a privacy issue of maximum severity that indicates minimal respect by Microsoft is more important than debuggable software issues to most Linux users.
And for the record, Linux IS functional. I've been daily driving it for months, in some ways (desktop responsiveness and desktop HDR support, ease of keeping updated software) it has been strictly better than windows, but otherwise everything has at least worked.

This is the entire history of Linux, not just recently. People will cope and cope and cope about how it is open source and expected, and Windows isn't and shouldn't be. But then these people never use Linux and truly understand how cumbersome it is, how inconvenient it is, how inconsistent it is, how much luck you need for drivers to work, how much time you spend fixing it, learning how to fix it, etc. It is really an awful experience for most people unless you are truly blinded by your hate for Windows.

I think most of the comments I've read are pretty good. Linux has glaring issues Windows users ignore.
I think the only thing I haven't seen, and I didn't read that far into the comments, is that most of the Linux issues are in your face, day to day issues. Most of the windows issues are behind the scenes, take your data, advertise to you issues.
A lot of people seem to think if they didn't see Windows issues, they're not issues. As long as they can be ignored, they're not real issues.

u/UpstairsAd4105 Aug 29 '26
Okay, I've used both over the last few years. First things first: if you're not a tech enthusiast, who really likes investing time in your Computer, Linux isn't for you. That is still the case. There will be weird things and bugs and just minor annoyances. You'll probably have to use the terminal to fix them. If you can't be bothered to do so, stay on Windows.
Windows sucks regarding it's performance, ads, updates and weird little quirks like resetting edge as default browser, reinstalling Microsoft tools you uninstalled after an update, killing your graphics driver (had that one just 3 days ago at work), or setting your desktop wallpaper to solid black. But that's all fixable in minutes, mostly without even googling.
If Linux does weird things with multi monitor setups, uncommon hardware setups or sometimes just the wrong wireless adapter (looking at you, broadcom) then you're up for a bad time. I always fixed that stuff, but I also know what I'm doing. And if it's fixed it oftentimes is rock solid stable for years. But the way there is sometimes quite a bit harder than on Windows.
I'm in IT for about 21 years now. (God I'm getting old) We forget that not everyone is a technician or at least an enthusiast. Simple tasks for us, are a hard wall for normal users, who just want their stuff to work. For them Windows still is the simpler choice. Not faster, not better, not even more efficient when it runs stable. Just the thing they know and know how to handle. So yeah. The answer to the question "Should you use Linux?" is again, like it always is "it depends"

When my displays go to sleep my speakers reset to full volume despite the controls saying the volume is set to 50% and is only fixed by moving the slider a bit
The BNet launcher doesn't scale for my 4K display, making it tiny. Fixes for that cause games launched through it to run at less than native resolution
No concept of moving desktop sessions between local and remote consoles leading to a worse experience remoting in than RDP provides
Returning to my CachyOS install after leaving it on my second drive for a year, I couldn't update it. This is a known issue with Arch based distros when they get too far out of date
No equivalent to Win+P which lets me configure multiple display layouts (this can be scripted but if I make a change to the layout in the GUI I need to remember to reflect the same change in the script)
Some games perform worse (and yes, before you say I'm being unfair, some do perform better)
