From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think if he had somebody better to onboard him, he'd have a better experience.
In classic manchild fashion, you people always blame the user instead of the technology. It doesn't take a genius to realize that switching to Linux is not going to be without issues for anyone, let alone the average computer user.
Instead of taking the opportunity to be a loser by gatekeeping, we should be saying "Yeah, the Linux ecosystem still has a long way to go. What makes it better is that it's free software. You now get to be a part of the community making it better and get to see for yourself where we are."
None of you will say that though because you're too stuck in your ways. It makes me sick, but I'm glad I'm not one of you.
