7 Common Linux Myths You Should Stop Believing

This is Linux propaganda.
Notice they didn't bother to give any truth other than sunshine and rainbows. It would be nice if they gave good information.
It starts with a blatantly llm-generated image, with the text possibly being a chatbot as well; good journalism is rare these days compared to this mass-produced slop
It honestly reads like a Linux fan wrote it. Just look at some of the comments on Lemmy. Linux is this magic operating system everyone is going to love. There are absolutely no issues and everyone's ok using Linux native tools.
I think Linux is solid but to try to sell it to someone as absolutely perfect is frankly silly. To be fair I am not totally innocent in this regard but I at least try no to leave out information.
Just to be clear I am not taking about you in particular.
What I find funny is people act like windows just works. Windows has its own issues and work arounds.
True but this article isn't about Windows
Agreed. As a self-proclaimed Linux fan, I'm also trying to give an unbiased perspective but I still find myself presenting things as nicer than they are sometimes.
How can you sell someone free stuff?
Words
I wonder what their 'prompt' was, especially with the demonic blowfish thingy. "Theo De Raadt as a FreeBSD convert assaulting Linux" -- maybe?
Theo de Raadt doesn't need FreeBSD. Because OpenBSD is much better.
It would also be nice if there weren’t ads littered throughout the article.
I have used Linux since 1999 and advocate its use for various purposes which includes being a daily driver, but I would never subject anyone to that article.
You are seeing ads? I just use Ublock origin and it works fine.
I was on my phone.
And that’s completely missing the point. This isn’t a useful article solely because the whole purpose of the article is ad space, not Linux. It shouldn’t be on me to have some ad blocker just to be able to easily read it. It’s a garbage article from what I’m guessing is a garbage site.
I didn't even realize it had ads
Not part of the discussion but i can really recommend Firefox with ublock origin on mobile. I recently switched a lot of stuff i did in app on mobile back to the browser because of that, like YouTube, and it's so great finally being rid of ads on mobile.
