  And people have hated Linux for almost as long. I believe in actions not in people complaining online. Linux is an option for a lot of people but they don’t want change, they want to complain. And Microsoft profits of that inaction.

    I don’t think anyone who isn’t a dedicated Linux user hates Linux. You have to be familiar with something to hate it, and it has taken a very long time for Linux to even breach into non-computer-nerd consciousness. Linux is probably more hated today than it ever has been previously and, in a way, that’s a good thing.

      Well, yeah, because Linux is not the status quo. If you hate Windows you need to change and people hate change. If you hate Linux, you just go on living you (ignorant) life.

        There’s no symmetry there. Windows users don’t hate Linux. They hate Windows, and are mostly unaware of Linux. Linux users hate Windows, but also hate Linux, and are usually fully aware of the shortcomings of both.If

        If you hate Linux, it’s not a matter of ignorance. It’s because you also love Linux, and use it all the time.
