And a refund wouldn't compensate my time wasted trying to beat the level (personal experience), or the time wasted figuring out why it was unbeatable when I was doing the level better than what was shown in video tutorials. It also wouldn't compensate for the hassle of having to switch back to Windows (for false promises from LiGNUts), or transferring a save.

Even using Valve's hardware (steam deck), users cited spending more time just getting games to work than actual playing. Gamers didn't ask for an alternate hobby.

Yes, typically unprofessional benchmarks are used by LiGNUts because a professional doesn't tailor the benchmark to the OS. It's like how in the browsers sub on Reddit, Brave would use a low karma account to stage a poll where Brave couldn't lose on a weekly basis. This kind of propaganda is loved by LiGNUts and rewarded with Karma or upvotes.

This kind of crap also happened when Elden Ring came out. You could jump through hoops to apply a patch to make run better than Windows for about a month. The official patch came out and changed things, but LiGNUts continue to inform people that it performed better on Linux.

I was an Arch user, with DWM and 12 manually installed patches with Elden Ring at the time. Even I didn't bother jumping through those ridiculous hoops.

You're misleading people with this propaganda and it's only going to backfire into more and more people hating Linux. People I met IRL used to not even know what Linux was, now I hear things like 'yeah, I've heard of it; not a fan' type comments. -If that's what you want, keep it up.

KDE serves a purpose that many LiGNUts aren't even aware of. They prioritize features an innovation over a polished product. It's funny to watch them suggest Plasma after ridiculing something for being buggy.

Even Linus Torvalds would tell you that it's a bad thing, and there are many problems that arise from creating derivative distros.

They're not that different. That's an excuse to divert from its technical failures. The project to fix that 'problem' has died last I knew for a reason (it wasn't a real problem).

The same types suggesting that crap are the ones that would point to Krita which is wildly different.

Linux is used primarily due to the propaganda and available admins. Large networks like Netflix depend on BSD. You're the first in years that has contested what BSD is generally regarded as better for. You're literally disagreeing with what even your fellow Linux advocates would agree on about BSD. -Not that there isn't misinformation about Linux so there could be about BSD, but you're also not showing any evidence either.

No, if it didn't exist, we'd have better competition for Windows. It's too self-limiting with its unstable ABI/API, and commie GPL. BSD is freer and has better load handling, efficiency, networking stack, security, cohesiveness, documentation, etc. And then there's all the OSes that were promising that Linux squashed by idiots saying 'we can do that in Linux' when Linux is flawed at its foundation. -Haiku for example is made for less robust hardware and is much better than Linux for it, but LiGNUts only see Linux.

Linux is destroying the industry. If you hate Microsoft: hate Linux because Linux is the best possible competition scenario it could have. Google is far worse than Microsoft though, and they were enabled by Linux.
