Unfortunately true. I’m agnostic to the OS. I’m 100% the use case and the feasibility and longevity.
Use whatever OS fits your needs. Not what Lemmy thinks you need. Because at the end of the day you’re the one stuck trying to vibe code a driver or a function that you need/want.
Case in point. I spent 1 full week trying to get the Ethernet to stop asking for a static IP even tho it’s been set to DHCP. It turned out the motherboard is too new and there is limited driver support. After compiling my own drivers, the entire system would panic without any logs. Even full verbose and custom watchers. Nothing.
Meetings with clients would frequently panic or my entire codebase would vanish after a crash.
I reinstalled windows and just worked. No fiddling. No compiling. No researching. Just worked.
All my other homelabs are on Linux. Just the main workhorse is Windows.

Yeah the Linux community are a bunch of unrealistic tech obsessed weirdos who don’t live in the real world where you actually have to have a computer that 100% works 100% of the time. The vast majority of the human population do not enjoy, or have the capacity to, fiddle around trying to get basic functionality working. And if you mention the fact that because of the lack of kernel support you can’t get things like battlefield 5 working they say, who cares about battlefield it’s shit anyway, like that’s some sort of arguement, and it’s your fault for wanting to be able to play a popular video game. I’m all in favour of the operating system but the community had just toxic.
