Aryan technology just works (apple)

Dalit technology doesn't (microslop/loonix)

It doesn't, and that's a Good Thing. Computers should not Just Work.

Because nobody uses Ubuntu

Because those Linux users who actually daily drive the "just works" distros aren't attention seeking faggots.

Because Linux doesn't "just work". You have to work to make it work.

because

>>108658921
they do. it's the industry standard. it just works. you have to jump through hoops to explain why you are not using it.

Because even when it does just work, it works "wrong" because you're using a distro someone doesn't like.

Because no one is paid to be dishonest about Linux.
You need to weigh some pros and cons to particular distros and put some time into maintenance to get something that just werks, but you would need to do the same on Windows and Mac, most people just pick versions of Mac and Windows that they don't actually like (last good Windows was 24 years ago) and they defer maintenance until the point of failure or ignore maintenance when they do because "it's different".
>>108665742
Windows and Mac waste your time constantly.
Windows does it because it's a poorly designed OS built on top of decades of spaghetti code and neglects support for anything that's not giving a manager more clout, Mac does it because it's designed to interface with student license monopolyware like photoshop that teaches you a garbage workflow intended to make you annoying to work with for anyone not in your particular enterprise clique, just like the product ecosystem itself.
Linux has some up-front time spent learning, but after that your time is spent much more optimally, either because you can automate things trivially in the default workflow without needing to learn something new like you would on Windows or Mac (Powershell, Cygwin, etc.) or because someone else didn't want to waste their time on something and made software that will also save you time.

Whenever people say [insert OS] just works, they're lying. No os just works, least of all Apple shit. In terms of tinkering needed to have things work for the user without having to learn/read about how to do it, windows is best, then macos and Linux on #2, depending on the user's needs

It just works if the hardware manufacturer isn't developer-hostile dickhead who refuses to release information required to develop a driver for it. And whatever is build on top of it is an another matter.

I've literally said it multiple times.
My experience coming from windows was that most stuff (that I need) just works with linux.

If you have to constantly insist it does, it probably doesn't.
