An OS used by geeks who want to escape proprietary software, and who have the computer power to fix everything that goes wrong by themselves. It is used heavily on servers, probably including the Urban Dictionary one.
I have a linux server in the basement, a linux computer to work on, and a windows computer to shout at.

A notorious Operating System designed for libertine masochists by being particularly unspecific, often times not containing some of the most basic qol-features out of the box, and requiring extensive knowledge and time-waste for configuring the most simple features and executing the most simple tasks, not yet spoken of the time required for learning how to use the system.

Implemented if one wants to maximize bare workflow efficiency and simplicity on paper for sacrificing valuable time and ease of use.

Most of the crucial applications and addons derive from the work of unpaid volunteers who spend all of their non-existent life developing apps that never even come close to a point of working properly for about 97% leastwise - which is the least to ASK for in a mature, usable system - and most often randomly abandon their work to eternity by realizing that there is other things required for being a grown adult than coding all day on zero-wage.

If beautifully configured, often times used by veterans for flexing their unnecessary skills in configuration which do aid in rendering their OS near to usable but do not aid in using it for productive and proactive work.
Use Linux, it really works.
Linux? I use Arch, btw.
Well, using Linux you would not have this problem.
