It is against the rules but but what is it exactly?

    That Linux is a single OS where OS means a distro. They end up thinking that there are 3 systems in the world, Windows, Mac and Linux.

    They’re pretty close, there are three types of kernels used my majority of modern computers but they since they aren’t really into different OS software they equate it with “there only 3 types of OS GUIs”.

    Spreading Linux misinformation is saying things about Linux that aren’t true.

    Examples:

    These can be jokes or trolling like “You can save space by removing the system’s pre-installed French language pack by running sudo rm -fr /” (disclaimer don’t do this!)

    Or misconceptions, such as “You probably don’t have a virus even if you suspect it, due to Linux’s nature viruses aren’t possible” (you absolutely can)

    That you can “do everything that windows does”. You can’t. You can do similar things, you can do different things, you can do basic things, yes, but Linux can’t do everything that windows does.

    disclaimer: on linux since 2006

      For me, it’s hardware support, i.e my laptops fingerprint sensor just isn’t supported, for the speakers to work I had to find a script that remapped the speakers, multiple desktops (especially with different resolutions) are a pain.

      But the killer at the moment is a good solution to manage and post process my raw photos. Went from Lightroom to On1 Photo RAW…unfortunately DarkTable is still not there yet. Also still missing the affinity suite on Linux :-(

      Also, sadly these tools also don’t run well in a VM

    For example, when someone ask for a command to list files, and another one reply with a command that removes everything.
