The uncomfortable truth is that a lot of people will straight up lie just to "improve the image" of Linux. I've been using Linux for about 8 years now and I wouldn't say that "it's perfect now" or "everything just works". No. Absolutely not. I play a lot of co-op games with friends and there are issues all the time. EA launcher taking YEARS to start, so my friend starts the game and waits, waits, waits... for me. Sometimes in-game audio decides to just stop working and I have to restart the game. And don't even get me started on the fear "if I alt-tab right now, will the game work? will it crash? will i get a black screen when I go back?". There are issues, nitpicks, bugs. The experience is the absolute opposite of "just works". And this comes from someone who absolutely loves open source software and Linux. There was a time where I did a lot of that "Linux shilling" too. I recommended Linux to everyone, asked my friends if they wanted to switch, told them that it's absolutely fine nowaydays. But I stopped, because I realized that it's a lie. I know they'd be going through the same issues that I have, and more. And if you're not an actual Linux enthusiast that cares about the stuff that Linux stands for, you won't be happy with it.
