    I dislike Linux’s “oh no your accidentally installing some proprietary software you silly billy don’t worry I’ve prevented it”.

    Wat??

      They are probably referring to distros that for legal reasons don’t include things like Codecs or proprietary drivers and stuff… and then you need to first research how to manually install those, after figuring out that you even need to do that at all…

          I love that anytime someone brings up a legitimate argument against using Linux. The response is basically just “lol git gud, skill issue”. These Linux Stans are worse than Apple fan boys lol.

        That’s exactly the issue… you need to properly use it. Most people don’t, and can’t be bothered to when Windows is just pre-installed and mostly doing its job alright…

        Still I don’t even know what OP is referring to. Did they install an FSF-endorsed distro?
