As a Linux user who just types and codes. For me it actually just works.

Many people think of Linux as a basic, outdated operating system only used by tech enthusiasts and programmers. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Linux is a powerful, versatile, and reliable system that is used in a wide range of applications and industries. From servers that power the internet, to supercomputers used for scientific research, Linux is the backbone of modern technology. It's also used in embedded systems, such as routers and smart devices, as well as in mobile phones and tablets. Additionally, Linux is open-source software, meaning it can be modified, distributed and used for any purpose, by anyone. This allows for a vast array of different distributions, tailored to suit the needs of different users, from beginners to experts. Another important aspect of Linux is security, as it is less susceptible to malware and viruses compared to other operating systems. This makes it a popular choice for businesses and organizations that handle sensitive information. In short, the next time you hear someone dismiss Linux as a hobbyist's operating system, remember that it's actually the backbone of much of the technology we rely on today. And with the constant development and contributions of its community, it's not going away anytime soon.

While I have had issues with Linux, they feel much more valid and fixable, whereas on Windows, they seem to come out of nowhere and are much harder to fix, if at all, leaving me feeling hopeless.

Actually you are right and I have nothing to add. - Signed a Linux-

Everyone uses Linux, most people just don't know they do. Android is Linux. Most routers are Linux. Smart TVs are Linux. Google is Linux. Wikipedia is Linux. Microsoft Azure is Linux. Your dishwasher is probably Linux. Your car is probably Linux. Your gaming console might be Linux. It just works, so you don't even notice it. It can also do desktops. It runs on pretty much anything, so of course it does. Although FreeBSD is better in many ways.

But the "it just works" is something I have said with Linux several times. I am always pleasantly surprised that our home printer just freaking works with my linux PC and is a real bastard to install on my wife's windows PC. Every damn time. But yeah, the rest seems right haha

Fun fact: That cube was the reason I even remembered Linux during a field trip for computer class in 2008. We built a PC that ran Linux. Remembered it again years later while getting pissed at Windows. Been running Linux exclusively for like 2 or so years now. Never going back. (Don't ask how many times I've installed different distros or reinstalled for the heck of it.)

Well sometimes it actually does just work, like when I plug in an old hdtv card remote and it works just like a keyboard to I can adjust sound and pause and skip around the video. Or when I put certain USB to ethernet adapters in and they just work.

lol the last one killed me

I'm not a normal linux user. I don't know much IT but I've been using Ubuntu forever. I used to cut and paste code a bit to get things done but now I just lazily go to their software centre and download from there now it's better than it was. I find it easier than MS or iOS that shoot themselves in the foot with user pay hurdles and restrictions that I don't know what for or if I'm getting scammed to pay for sone made up app. I can't even load photos from my laptop to my work related iPad coz working like a simple drive to drive transfer is too much freedom fir Apple. Yea Nah. Csn't stand them.

You're exactly the sort of user we need more of. Documentation depending on distro is thin and often hard to find, but seriously the more major OSs all suck in their different ways. I've been trying to convince various people to switch to linux, but it's rather a hard sell when someone's been using Windows the last twenty years. How and why did you start using Ubuntu? Would you have any tips for a beginner?

honest question, has anyone who uses linux actually had their screen go upside down? I've never encountered that issue on any distro yet it's been mentioned several times here. All I can find when I look it up are mentions of niche laptops with built in gyros for screen rotation (I'm guessing 2 in 1s, but even then this issue was about half a decade ago) and people who left their PS4 controllers plugged in and the gyros in that was causing auto-rotation. I'm genuinely curious at this point because it's been brought up a lot and I can find nothing online about it that seems to match as it's described.

I've had some issues with my 2-in-one, but only with x11 and never on a machine without a gyro. It's funny when it goes wrong, though. If you boot it with the screen folded over then everything will display 180 degrees rotated from their hitboxes and the mouse will be the wrong way up. Makes for an interesting user experience

@@GenericSweetener eh, I guess that would check out, X11 has been jank for the past decade or two now. I just use wayland, even on hybrid Nvidia graphics with a rolling release distro (arch repos) never had any real issues, frankly I think the linux elitists are the only ones who wayland isn't good enough for simply because they don't want it to be. Maybe if you're comparing a multi-year old LTS it's a different story but wayland has been pretty smooth for me so I've just never seriously used X11. (I also don't own any 2 in 1s)

To be "that guy", if you ever get this problem again (no matter the PC model, distro or window manager), you can find the information in the section "Tablet Mode" of the Arch Wiki. Worse (or best, if you ask me) case escenario, you get yourself a simple laptop by disabling gyro and manually rotating the screen and touch sensors.

It happened to me, more than ten years ago, on an Ubuntu distro. Very funny, very annoying. Updated the video driver, everything worked fine. Apparently the BIOS video in some laptops required some different signaling. I heard, but I'm not sure that the reversal happens only on laptops, never on desktop...

As a Linux user, I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

This is the best representation of what a linux noob looks like lmao! It gets better once you've used a distro for a bit, but yeah 😬. When starting out, it'll be rough. I distrohopped for a couple years, and finally settled on a distro that I like(debian), and it may take a little bit to settle on one yourself. Whatever your linux experience is, Good luck 😁

Debian and Mint for me. New installs outside of gaming setups are Debian because they make it easy to forego a DE and just install DWM later.

Things Windows users (can) never say: -"Well, at least this OS isn't basically just Spyware that collects data about what I do on my own device and sells it to third parties"

I always use Apt, not Apt-get. The last time I used Apt-get was for a school project, which introduced me to Linux.

@@NJ-wb1cz I tried Cinnamon Mint but didn't like it much because I felt like they worked super hard to emulate Windows resulting in a UI that was like Windows but worse, and the lack of a wiki or good documentation made it a bit of a challenge to figure out where stuff was.

Linux is a versatile operating system that is used in a wide variety of applications. It is the foundation of many operating systems and has become the standard for high-performance computing, cloud computing, and embedded systems. Linux is used in everything from supercomputers to mobile phones, from gaming consoles to car entertainment systems, and from home media centers to enterprise-level servers. One of the key reasons for the widespread use of Linux is its stability and reliability. Linux has been designed from the ground up to be a secure and stable operating system that can be used in a variety of applications. The Linux kernel is highly customizable, allowing developers to tailor the operating system to meet their specific needs. Additionally, Linux has a large community of developers and users who contribute to the development and maintenance of the operating system, which helps ensure that it continues to evolve and improve over time. Another important factor that contributes to the popularity of Linux is its open-source nature. This means that the source code of the operating system is freely available to everyone, which allows developers to make modifications and improvements to the code. This also means that Linux is not controlled by a single company or organization, which makes it less susceptible to commercial interests and more likely to remain independent and open in the future. In conclusion, Linux is a powerful, versatile, and reliable operating system that is used in a wide range of applications. Its stability, reliability, and open-source nature make it a popular choice for developers, businesses, and individuals alike. Whether you're a computer scientist working on a high-performance computing cluster, a software developer building a cloud-based application, or a home user looking for a stable and secure operating system for your personal computer, Linux is a great choice.
