    I had a coworker who always said “just use linux” when something didn’t work on a windows machine. So he implied linux alwats works (there is no war in ba sing se)

      As someone who said it before, I was recommending that to technical people having technical problems because of the stupid way windows does some things.

      So while I can’t speak for anyone saying that, it doesn’t mean it’ll always work, or even that you’ll have less problems, but it does usually mean that it’s easier to figure out what’s wrong and how to fix it because the system is so open.

      isn’t he trying to say linux fixes the specific problem you were having when he said it? sounds like you are making assumptions.
