Obviously, a bit of clickbait. Sorry.
I just got to work and plugged my surface pro into my external monitor. It didn’t switch inputs immediately, and I thought “Linux would have done that”. But would it?
I find myself far more patient using Linux and De-googled Android than I do with windows or anything else. After all, Linux is mine. I care for it. Grow it like a garden.
And that’s a good thing; I get less frustrated with my tech, and I have something that is important to me outside its technical utility. Unlike windows, which I’m perpetually pissed at. (Very often with good reason)
But that aside, do we give Linux too much benefit of the doubt relative to the “things that just work”. Often they do “just work”, and well, with a broad feature set by default.
Most of us are willing to forgo that for the privacy and shear customizability of Linux, but do we assume too much of the tech we use and the tech we don’t?
Thoughts?

I don’t want to hear about “proper licensing” for a $100 per key, per device OS. We’re not the product, the product is the product. You’re just apologizing for them making the lower tiers into shit.
Also, CloudStrike couldn’t have happened if CloudStrike hadn’t been negligent on their own, but Microsoft was the root cause.
Either Microsoft was negligent in allowing CloudStrike to pass instructions to the kernel without being properly signed (and therefore, checked for critical errors), or Microsoft was negligent in not knowing what CloudStrike was up to.
* CrowdStrike$100 key is the basic key. You buy that, you are the product.
I have all licenses from home to pro to enterprise to datacenter. My datacenter installs, which are just Win11 without the consumer spyware bloat is rock solid awesome operating system.
