I guess the difference is that these problems are fixable: maybe they're going to be annoying to fix, but you can actually do it.

In windows, some problems are simply outside of your control, or if you dip down into the registry to fix them, and that's possible, then your fixes can get unfixed on update.

To be honest, I just find it mind-boggling that all around the world, there are offices of high-paid professionals waiting for windows to finish updating minecraft before they can actually do some work.

Fixable how?

I have to become a kernel hacker and AMD driver contributor to fix them?!?

It's probably just a matter of fixing some inane configuration file under /etc/.

Don't get me wrong - I find that kind of thing annoying too. But it's nothing compared to the Windows approach of interrupting your work to give you a popup about 'connecting your device' or whatever.

If they are waiting for Minecrat to update then they are overly paid.
