Any hyperbole or unfairness from Linux advocates pales in comparison

The only reason I promoted Win7 here, in the past, was because at the
time it really did represent something new and improved in computing.
Today, Linux is hands-down the winner.

Linux is the winner?
At what?

I run Linux on this Thinkpad Yoga 14 because Windows 11 won't run on it,
and Windows 10 is dead soon. So in that case Linux is better.
This laptop can be folded into a tablet, and I can tell you that under
Win 10, worked a charm. Under Linux, screen orientation doesn't work,
virtual keyboard doesn't work. I only get a virtual keyboard at the
logon screen.

On a 15" Alienware laptop, it's had Windows 11 on it for 3+ years.
Runs great, has never blue screened, locked up, refused to do my
bidding. Some Windows updates have broken the Dell Support App and the
Alienware Command Center, but a fix usually comes from MS or Dell, or a
Revo uninstall/reinstall fixes it. I wouldn't even bother putting Linux
on the Alienware, as I doubt selecting which video card I want is an
option under Linux, and I doubt fan control would be as easy under Linux
as it is with Windows 11.

Windows 11 is a computing tool.
Linux is a computing tool.

The choices being available is the winner.
