- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

Linux isn't ready.
While many things will work 'out of the box', many won't. Hell, for like 3 months HDR was causing system-wide crashes on Plasma for Nvidia cards, so the devs just disabled the HDR options until there was an upstream fix.
There are still a host of resume-from-sleep issues, Wayland support is still spotty, and most importantly - not every piece of software will run.
Linux is my daily driver, I have learned to live and love the jank. My wife uses windows and does not want to be confronted with a debugging challenge 5% of the time when she turns on her computer, and I think that is fair.
These kinds of posts paper over lots of real issues and can be counterproductive. If someone jumps into the ecosystem without understanding, these kinds of posts only set them up for frustration and disappointment.
FTFY
Nvidia has 90% of the discrete GPU market.
Kind of important that things work there.
Windows has 90% of the OS market. I guess, Linux can just pack its things then. Windows forever. π
Tell Nvidia. Their crap driver is proprietary. Nothing anyone but Nvidia can do.
