A few years back I bought an HP laptop, installed Linux Mint on it, cos I was told HP was Linux-friendly and Mint was the best for Windows users.

Constantly having to keep entering my password, physically incapable of using hotel Wifi, bizarre bullshit to install anything, having to use some 'repo' thing, and constantly getting an error message about some repo I deleted already.

Then a bunch of text over the screen every boot, which went away after a few mins but disturbing. And most of the software I loved wasn't available.

Not to mention the various errors and fuckups and the snotty-assed attitude of the developers, who sneered and assured me Mint wasn't developed for Windows-using noobs like me, but for their own use and the fun of making it.

I deeply hate Microsoft, especially the latest Windows, but Linux is still utter crap for normal people who just want their PC to work, without diving into technical bullshit.

Instead of fixing the ease of use and standardizing things so we noobs could learn it, it's just forever and ever more and more fucking versions, because if you're a noob to Linux in the first place, what you really need is a few more fucking versions of the thing you don't know Jack about anyway, right?
