As demonstracted by this LinuxToday Blog post and my own experience, if you spend time reading Linux news, you are bound to discover a world of people who will do anything possible to say “Linux sucks.”

You have to keep this in perspective, though. There are also those who will say anything to defend Linux or Mac OS X. In fact, everyone is, at least partially, a fanboy of some operating system. Someone who say “Linux sucks” is correct, but if he/she doesn’t also say “Windows sucks” and “OS X sucks,” they are a fanboy. Likewise, someone who says that Linux is an excellent operating system is correct, but if he/she doesn’t also say the same of Windows and OS X, they are a fanboy. Fundementally, operating systems as complex as the ones we use today cannot be compared in a general sense and anyone who tries to is bound to get it wrong.

When it comes to generally comparing two operating systems and ignoring the specifics, there are no right answers, but there are infinite wrong answers
