Other than me, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a person, business, etc, in the wild running Linux.
Even business signs/billboard I’ve seen run Windows.

The context is that code made its way into shipped open source software.
The type doesn’t matter. It proves that there can be slip ups.
Move goal posts, though.
But oPeN sOuRce iS sAfe.
Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux Distros, already did that.
Or are we just hating on Windows?
Realistically probably not getting one for less than $160CAD.
At that point, might as well just buy a used Dell optiplex or something. These boards are absurdly priced, and you’ll never get it for MSRP.
Even with the added power consumption of the Dell you’ll pull out ahead lol

Usually when something turns to removed, and the original CEO leaves to create a similar product, people follow. With games, software, even hardware.
Bought a Brother printer. Opened up “printers” on Windows 11, it picked up my printer wirelessly, I clicked “add” and it was done.
No garbage software or anything.
So printers definitely do just work on Windows.
I think they deserve the same, too. 30+ years for both. Lets not lower the serial rapist sentence to match. Lets raise the vehicular homicide.
But if you copy/paste random commands from the internet and it breaks your distro you’re stupid.
But I’m not gonna tell you how to do it via GUI. So here, copy this terminal command.
The better analogy is 50K people are in a room, 80% of them are mute and deaf (they don’t comment so you can’t talk to them);10% have the complete opposite opinion and you don’t want to communicate with them; and the other 10% share your interests, but they are busy communicating with the other people. So at the end of the day you have 2% of people to converse with.
2% of people finding your posts, upvoting, and interacting with you. Not much.
Truth.
I try linux probably 2 times per year, every year, and at least hop between 5+ distros. Every time I run into issues, I ask the community, and I am completely removed on.
“Go back to microsoft you dumb removed”. Like ok. Didn’t realize a distro completely nuking itself by me clicking update in the software manager was a me problem, but sure.
Every time you comment something like this, nice people come in and tell you how the Linux community is so accepting, followed by 30 comments telling you to kill yourself lmao.
I wonder why. You seem like a fine person who thinks forcefully having sex with multiple people without consent, potentially removeding them up for life mentally, and possibly physically, is only worthy of 3 years in prison.
I can spend hours doing work without any mandatory updates .
Weird way to say spend hours fixing something that just randomly borked your PC.
Seriously, though. Windows has a removed ton of issues, but it seems like every distro I install I am eventually greeted with something just completely breaking for no reason whatsoever and spend the next 6 hours scouring Linux forums for a solution, where everyone is just hostile as removed screaming at people to “figure it out yourself” and to “use Terminal”.
Glad it works for you, though. Wonder how many downvotes this cold take is going to net me lol.
Ubuntu is the best bet for a distro to just work well out of the box.
Granted I have still had a removed ton of issues, errors, etc, but Ubuntu is the only distro that has worked the best out of the box. Fedora was a broken mess, and Mint was in between.
So if you want anyone to not give up on Linux, direct them towards Ubuntu first. You can always switch distros later, but spending 3 days trying to fix issues on a different distro isn’t fun.
