[A conversation I have actually had.]
i’ve been using it for a decade now and never once have i thought “wow this sucks”
That tracks. But damn, do I ever think “wow this sucks” when I have to deal with Winblows.

Linux in its modern form is a day to learn and a lifetime to master, which is a huge step up from where it was a bit more than a decade ago. Even then, it’s still miles better than windows. Microsoft would copyright a hammer and nails if it could.
For Microslop to make something that doesn’t blow, they’d need to make a fan. (I’ve heard “doesn’t suck - vacuum cleaner” a zillion times, I hope mine’s more original.) (They really would make a fan that doesn’t blow and a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t suck, because nothing Microslop makes ever works.)
Linux may suck some of the time, but Winblows… well, blows, all the time.

behaviourbearhaviour.😂 Yours is certainly more original!
That’s the thing about Linux: If you learn windows thoroughly you’ve set yourself up to be a corporate slave, but if you learn Linux you liberate yourself and others.
A slightly more positive way of putting this is “choosing the set of problems you want to deal with.” I vastly prefer the problems that Linux hands me over the problems with Windows.
Linux sucks because the problems are sometimes hard to solve and you have to solve them yourself. Windows and Mac suck because the ability to solve hard problems is actively being kept away from you by the gatekeepers.
I much prefer “hard to solve”.
