You know, like “always split on 18,” or “having kids is the most rewarding thing you can do in life.”

What’s that one bit of advice you got from a trusted friend that you know deep, deep down would just ruin your thing?

    But you should do that one. Just don’t expect it to be windows with a different coat of paint and you will be fine.

      Not always an option, nor always a good idea.

      But it’s objectively bad advice for plenty of people. Depending on the career or hobby, Linux software is not as good (performance, support, or feature wise) as software running on Windows or Mac.

      I understand why people evangelize Linux (and I use it plenty at home), but it’s far from acceptable for plenty of use cases.

        And you can make exactly the same argument for windows or mac depending on career or hobby or performance/support.

          He wasn’t saying that “use Windows/Mac” was good advice, and tbh I’ve heard those far less than “just use linux lmao”
