Where did I say Linux doesn't have flaws. You're just here arguing that it can't be useful to a person who is already clearly technically savvy because you have some issue with it or something. You needed to come here and argue with me that it isn't perfect for literally every person because I brought it up as an alternative for someone who is clearly capable of learning it.

Everything has flaws, and that's especially true for large projects, like Linux, Windows, or Mac. The difference is that with Linux you don't need to fight it with things like the OP had to do where they disabled updates, presumably through registry edits.

Some people talk about people recommending Linux are loud (it's FOSS and we're on a FOSS platform, so it's appropriate), but the fact some people just have to come and say "it isn't perfect, so you can't recommend it" is insane.
