+1. I do believe the user you are replying to but I believe you too. People can have different experiences without lying or being disingenuous. I'm probably more tech-savvy than the average user but far below average for programming.dev or a Linux community. For me, Linux Just Works out of the box, but I admit I'm on a gaming-specific distro (Nobara, a Fedora derivative) and I'm only using it to be a gaming computer. Sometimes it opens a web browser. Art, music, programming, printing all happen somewhere else (my Mac).

Just to be clear: my criticism is not that the other commenter was lying or being disingenuous about their own experiences, but that they made sweeping generalizations in their comment.

Thanks for explaining, I didn't think you were insinuating that they were lying at all! I may have been overly influenced by another comment

Ah! Yes, I see where you were coming from now.
