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

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.

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.

yep.
"It-works-for-me" is a form of survivorship bias.

A blog post that describes the attitude pretty well: rachelbythebay.com/w/2018/04/28/m…

I've had tons of issues too. It just has not been good for me as a personal development env. Sure, great, repeatable behavior for running web servers. But without commercial pressure, so many personal computing problems just never seem to get addressed.

in Linux terms it's "I use arch, btw" meaning "look how smart I am"

I actually agree with this. Anyone who says Linux "just works" in a desktop setting, has never used it that way or has some sort of special unicorn HW. It doesn't just work, it never has in the decade+ I've been using it.

On supported hardware it does work for me, admittedly when you get a shonky bit of HW sometimes you are bang out of luck, but still, it is and has been my daily driver for years now and it's been great to be honest!

Linux works for me because I work for it. Windows just works but it doesn't work for me.

blog.burntsushi.net/system76-darte… the "suspend" section of this post has some more information on what sounds like the similar issue: thunderbolt drivers are funny with wakeup (sorry if youve already found a solution)
youre right, "just works" isnt the case yet, but its improving!
