because you get better error diagnostics than "The parameter is incorrect" and because you don't have to gently caress around on shady Chinese websites for a day to download drivers linux is bad for the poo poo i do everything else is worse

one thing i noticed is that linux on the desktop users tend to pretend the rest of the computing world is still in 1995 just so they can feel better about their bad choices

imagine your system service activation and monitoring system was arbitrarily complicated while simultaneously not capable of guaranteeing the service actually activated or monitoring that the service hasn't died on you unexpectedly

If Linux is so great, why does everyone I know dual boot it with OSX or Windows? Raise your hand if your grub timeout is 0.

I dual-boot with Windows 8 since the laptop I have got it installed by default and I wanted to investigate what our competitors were doing. I have not booted it into Windows since the day I got it.
