>It's 2026 and friction parity now approaches All things considered, what does that mean? Well, I came up with this term a little while ago after talking about this very concept for years. Friction parity is the idea that no OS is perfect, just familiar. Mac fans, born-and-raised Windows Native, a Microsoft Refugee, or if you're baptized in the cult of GNU-slash-Linux... it doesn't matter! Each system has their own, unique friction. Now, friction is the arbitrary barriers that your OS erects — whether intentional or not — between you and the tasks you're trying to complete.

Oh, we have a microslop employee here, welcome

FYI: linux has battled, microslop FUD and forced arm wrestling ath motherboard level

linux has systemd cancer and wayland crap, thanks microslop

plus, there are plenty of "insiders" that clearly are paid to destroy it

so.... I say, it is a miracle that it is what it is AND stop whining and start using it

I admin about 2000 servers running it, and it works well. Reality is that.

And there's that attitude I was talking about.

Microsoft sucks too and I don't support them, but Linux had a long time to fix their shit before MS got their hooks into it. It's still Linus' baby (the kernel) and suffers from Linus being Linus. It's not a miracle. It's an attempt at doing what Unix already did.

I use Debian. I use Windows. I use Android. I use what I need for my job. I'm not whining. I'm calling Linux out for their procrastination and sloth.

you are just doing your work of spreading FUD

Dear God, please, get us rid of liars and hypocrites

What fear, uncertainty and doubt am I spreading? If you're going to call me out, do it properly at least. Nothing I said in my comment is untrue. It's been over 30 years and Linux is still not ready for prime time.

Do you get paid by Linus directly or through RH?
