Oh. Smart and pedantic about an autoincorrect. I'm not going to say I know more about computers than you because... One never knows. I just started in 1982 and have only worked in IT my whole life in pretty much every role, in more than 30 languages and many different platforms plus contributing as a developer in a small distribution around 2006-2010 and ending up as a lead entreprise architect providing advise on the technological direction of 300+ systems. But again, maybe I don't know much.
Your answer confirmed my original comment. You are commenting without fundament. "I used it 15 years ago" qualifies for speaking about Linux in past tense. Not in present tense.
By the way, I don't know if you used virtualisation or WSL to run Ubuntu inside windows (I remember the Ubuntu cd had that executable) but it's not the same as running a proper installation and back then WSL was lacking.
For me talking about WSL also qualifies as past tense as I haven't used Windows at all since 2019.
Good for you that you like Apple. It doesn't mean that Linux is not stable or is lacking though.
