Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

It doesn't run on old 2010 year Intel/AMD laptop, while FreeBSD does. Maybe because of the philosophy of destroying the old to build something completely new (pipewire, ip, firewalls etc.). Maybe I should spend more time finding working distro.

Also, It's sad to realize that politics has actually always been a part of FOSS (when they removed Russian maintainers). Still I really like Linux.

Politics because "no man is an island" will not elaborate.
