Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?
Don't get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I'm working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There's always software I can't use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages... last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.
I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?
Uhhhh... Every single one. You can easily Google it, and chances are you will find a forum post about it somewhere because everyone uses Windows. Windows even has a multi billion dollar international company providing 24/7 support for it, for free. If you have a problem with Linux, good fucking luck finding help with it.
lol wut CHANCES ARE?
Chances are I can't find the Windows 10 kernel source code on github.
Prove me wrong.
I get what you're saying; a good portion of the issues you encounter on Windows aren't solvable as they are in the design or you have to wait for Microsoft to fix the issues, if they ever do. A lot of the design isn't even for the customer, it's for the advertisers or other interests. That said, you're coming off pretty aggressive and I don't think you'll get many to consider your argument when brought forth in such a manner.
This person I am responding to has no idea what a kernel is. That said, he or she should not be giving some questionably authoritative answer (which is clearly wrong.)
So are you going to post that Windows kernel source code? I'll hold my breath.
