    If my mother can’t tell the difference between Firefox and the OS, but can use Linux mint just fine, then so can the average user.

      That’s great! I’m glad that it works so well for her!

      That doesn’t mean the issues aren’t present though.

        Every OS has their issues though. You take people that have decades of experience in an OS and ask them to change to a different workflow. So yeah, they won’t be proficient the second they load Linux.

        You can create a infinite number of scenarios where there are issues with Linux, but the same can be done about Windows and MacOS

          Somehow this conversation with the rest of the users here in this thread have turned into some weird fanboy argument, so I want to go ahead and apologize for upsetting you with my comments.

          Nowhere did I say Windows was better than Linux. I’ve actually stated many times that I love Linux. This is a meme for Linux, therefore I’m talking and taking the piss out of Linux.

          These are real world issues that I’ve encountered myself, and seen others encounter. Just because it works for you, does not mean Linux is infallible. Windows isn’t. macOS isn’t.

            I agree with you that Linux has issues, but so does Windows and MacOS.

            My point is that we usually use the same OS for years, so switching to any other OS will have its quirks. You don’t really see your OS quirks anymore because you’ve learned to work around through experience.
