P.P.S. The number of condescending comments I get on postings like this, every time, is very large. If you are going to make a comment like this and are 20-something years old, don't even. In college I used to boot up my Linux machine with a big ascii Bob Dobbs every day.

People keep telling me Linux "just works" now. I bought a System76 laptop with PopOS preinstalled. On the first day of use, third time I wake it from suspend, the lock screen has gone crazy buggy ... there are many instances of it at different levels of slide-upness, covering

half the screen. I am unable to use the laptop without hard-powering it off. GG guys.
(Also, the trackpad and mouse 'buttons' on this laptop are freaking terrible, but, that has not much to do with Linux).

This is actually the most successful Linux attempt that I've had in about 15 years. Still doesn't just work.

If you make smug "Linux just perfectly works for me because I am so smart" comments, Bob thinks you are a pink. Thanks bye.

Jonathan, you aren't wrong. There is this tunnel vision that a lot of heavy GNU/Linux users get. Nothing can shake their elitism. Nothing. But using Linux often times feels like going backwards in time. There is a wide chasm of quality between FOSS and proprietary software.

But I will say that the best Windows machine I have was meant to be a Linux laptop. Fully repairable, with a totally easy user replaceable battery. Libretrend Wildebeest, incase you're interest. Runs Windows like a dream. To be fair it runs Linux well also.

They don’t get the reference, but I do and am delighted.

What did you expect with your post? You take a public dump on a community, the response you got was expected. If u posted asking for help or suggestions, you probably would gotten more helpful response. But that isn't what u did...
