This is how enthusiasts advertise Linux. They don’t exactly word it in the negative, but here we have listed as the 7 top reasons to love Linux:
No viruses
No crashes
No individual program updates
No cost
No IP
No command line necessary
The 3 positive reasons to love linux are:
Customisation
Education about how OSs work
Support (i.e. if it breaks, people will help you fix it)
Linux is the main OS I use, but advertising the bad things it doesn’t have, how much you can learn by using it, and the amount of support that’s available, is not a strong marketing strategy.
On this list, customisation is the main positive selling point. I wish the Linux community could be more up front about its downsides, and emphasize where it really shines—computing and engineering applications. Being plausibly able to use it for things that you can do easier on Windows (i.e. gaming) is a nice bonus, but if I was writing this list, I’d put at the very top:
LINUX IS KEY TO THE INTERNET AND BEING GOOD AT IT WILL HELP YOU GET A GREAT JOB
