everything on linux is the most painful way it could possibly be on purpose

Yep. It’s nerd-optimized and getting worse, so that means that absolultely nothing just works, it requires twiddling of endless configuration files and has no reproducibility at all. (That means that because you set it up a certain way on one system, doesn’t mean it’ll work the same on another, apparently-identical, system. In fact, I can guarantee it will not.)

And don’t tell me I just don’t know how to use it. I’ve been working with Linux since 1998, have a now-expired RHCE, and have deployed the OS in large-scale production environments. I do know what I am doing and I can tell you Linux is designed poorly even for its intended purpose, with some rare exceptions.
