"Anyone who does any real professional work or plays the latest games is NOT using linux, they use windows."
Sorry, I do, and I use Linux, the only proprietary software I use is Steam, I will not be forced to use Windows and I will not use Windows or any related Microsoft product.

"Your distro doesn't magically stop you from running all this software you claim to use." It does, half the stuff I'm talking about stops working on most of these weird distros for several related reasons, I get the point about systemd or whatever, but it's NEVER just systemd, if a distro has no systemd it often has some bullshit like X11Libre - they're all funky, weird, and dysfunctional operating systems. Also no point in going downstream if upstream works, use Debian instead of Devuan because there will be less issues.

I don't, use whatever you like, but this is a thread by a newbie who wants to get into Linux, why would I willingly tell him to use garbage? He should know what good Linux is.
"Trusted" by actual people who do real work, and need basic things like support for more than one colour space per window, such as graphic designers. Microsoft is the company that wants you to use old software so FOSS never gets anywhere and you'd be forced to use their products which are objectively ahead in many things unfortunately.
