Well the difference is that I actually used Linux (everything from Ubuntu, Zenwalk, DSL, Knoppix, Puppy, and many others),...

LOL!!!

I actually used Windows (everything from Windows 3.0 to windows 3.1 to windows 3.11) thinking it was actually a capable program.

It didn't take long before I realized it was just a shell sitting on top of the same old buggy DOS, and stopping me from getting simple stuff to work.

I noticed that you are very careful about not listing the time frame of your so-called experiences with Linux. My wife and kids all use both Linux and Windows (not my choice, obviously), and the only time I get called upon for system maintenance/troubleshooting is with their Windows stuff. Never, EVER, do I get requested to do anything for the Linux boxes, where they spend well over 99% of their time and effort.

Oooookay.

I used it from 2008-2010. Is that better? And what does Windows 3.11 have to do with anything? That’s an OS from 20 years ago.

God knows why the heck you think I’m making this up. Seriously you Linux guys know the hassel people have installing and using this OS. It’s openly talked about and acknowledged. This “dur I never had any issues” stuff is usually the line of people that are trying too hard to fluff up the reputation of their favorite OS.
