I am a dev, and I love (some) linux. I use windows too. But I don’t allow any OS to ruin my day or dictate the course of my life by its mere existence lol sometimes I really hate the tuxbro culture tbh
Ah yes, because the only thing that has ever mattered is merit. There is not one single instance in history of a thing with more merit losing out. Nope, no siree.
If something has more merit than the other, it would have wider adoption than Linux does now.
The problem is that Linuxes merit is spread all over the different distros.
One may have a good way to handle updates, while the other works with all sorts of hardware, yet an other can be completely handled through GUI without any command line necessary.
For Linux to have more merit than Windows, it needs all of that combined in one package.
Until then, it really doesn’t have the merit you think it has.
But that’s just not how merit works, things that work better and are better often don’t win out. Not because they are bad but because other things spread faster. The best organism is not the the longest lived one, but the one that reproduces faster.
But its even worse than just smugness.
It is unjustified smugness. If Linux was soooooo much better than every other OS, it should be the dominant OS by now. But it’s not. Not even close.
