f it were 40 years ago, maybe Linux would’ve had a chance to beat MS
really dude? you think Linux can’t compete with ms-dos? REALLY?
At least be a little more reasonable and respectable of decades of effort from the FOSS community. Had you said that todays Linux would only be competitive with windows from 15 years ago I would understand and somewhat agree with that. Also, Windows has been degrading ever since 2012 and Linux keeps getting more appealing compared to the current Windows releases as time goes on.
It also doesn’t help that half of your anecdotes also blatantly happens on Windows. Yes, PCs and PC manufacturers sure suck, it’s only a bit better on Windows because manufactures sometimes test their half-assed stuff there and make giant piles of workarounds to make it sorta work.
