Citation needed. It's not. Linux is only good for hosting. Only very very few large companies gives laptops with Linux to developers.

Linux for desktop is a joke, always have been since at least Slackware 7.1 running at my 486

Did you have a particularly bad experience? Things have changed _a little_ since 1992.

I switched from Windows in 2018 because I was trying to install some Python packages, and it was hours of work to find the specific visual C++ runtimes that were needed to get them working.

On Linux: pip install, done.
