Comment on Linux has had a great year, but there are two reasons I can't tear myself away from Windows

given M$'s heinous bullshit tactics lately, i wouldn’t put it past them to pay some tech writer to take a linux build to some big public event, deliberately fuck it up, windows to the rescue, and then write an article about why linux isn’t just unstable, but downright hazardous to your job
for my own part, everything i’ve had to put up with as a linuxnoob has been 100% worth the result of flushing windows down the shitter where it belongs.

I find it hard to believe. He was using ubuntu and both his wifi and trackpad and the lot broke. I remember in the aughts when a student came in to proudly say he through th latest suse on a laptop and everything worked out of box. Yeah things can have issues but much like windows its often just an update which even with windows you have to be ready to have a physical network connection or you could be screwed with wifi. I have not seen any issues with ubuntu. Did he intentionally say to not use 3rd party drivers which is what my thought is which to blog about that afterwards without repeating using third party sounds like a hit job.
