Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Well, it's certainly an uniformed opinion. Linux is just different from windows. It has a different ethos and goal and it excels at that. Conversely, Windows is terrible at the things Linux is good at.
I'll ignore the long list of errors in your post for now under the impression that you just don't know what you're talking about.
i know what im talking about. i used linux and hated it.
Used it for 3 days, it seems, and you used it with clouded expectations
Have you ever patched your kernel or even used ssh? Or did you just install Ubuntu and got upset that programs were named differently?
yes i did patch the kernel before
I'm proud of you.
You've had an experience and learned from it, broadening your own horizons. You've yet to learn that your experiences and needs are not universal, however, and that what works (or doesn't) for you isn't universally applicable.
Baby steps!
