>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.

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.

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?
