Every time people who literally installed linux 10 years ago and think their experience from 10 years ago still scales to today comment on these posts, I'm honestly tired of it. I don't use ubuntu (I use elementary os) and I don't have weird update issues.

These replies are so tired. Every OS has issues. I bought a macbook and it was the most flakey thing ever. It literally froze up on me while doing a presentation at a national conference, and this with a bunch of nerds here at HN extoling how "macos is like unix but it just works!" Bullshit.

Same can be said about people commenting about how shit Vista was and assuming W10 must be the same. Clueless morons on both sides. Who cares about your crappy distro or your W10 Pro?
I'm not calling out Linux or Ubuntu here. I'm disappointed with all OS's, except with Mac OS which I didn't try. I can continue the story. After returning to Windows 7 which was great, guess what, Windows 8. I skipped this version, had just a customized 8.1 which was tolerable. Tried Debian, but I couldn't live with such a limited distro where my browser can't upgrade itself. Got Windows 10 which works fine, modified with Classic Shell because I can't stand new (not so new anymore) start menu. Ubuntu is in VM for some Python work but I still don't dig the UX there. Mint is probably closest to good UX I can find because it doesn't try to force me to use my PC as a mobile device.
