    I'm only agreeing with Linus so you're calling us both stupid because you can't bear to have your religion questioned.

    Implausible. This is an article where the creator of Linux is saying that the desktop could be a lot better. Are you calling him stupid too?

    Maybe you should bothering me with your pointless zealotry. I know how to use Mint (or any other distro) but applying updates should not hose GRUB. 21 years and the Linux community is still full of rabid fanatics who think their OS choice somehow validates them. What's especially ironic is that you think that you know better than Linus Torvalds about the flaws in the desktop. Is he too stupid to use Mint too?

    21 years of using it dickhead. I had fewer problems with Mandriva in 2002 than I do with Mint in 2019. It's not solid anymore.

    Why would I lie? It happened on a stock install of Mint. As for pushing a horrible OS, which one would that be? I haven't mentioned any others. Linux used to be rock-solid as a desktop but it's lost its way. Your blind fanaticism does you and Linux no favours.

    Yes yes it's always the user's fault. I applied the updates from the software manager and rebooted. Nothing else. I wouldn't blame Linux for my fuck ups.

    I've used Linux on and off since 1998 when I decided to install RH 5.2 to see what the buzz was all about. I've currently got Mint 19 installed and the last time I applied updates GRUB disappeared and I had to go into the BIOS to get my Mint partition to boot and then more buggering about to put GRUB back on. So I've had 21 years of smug zealot wankers like you telling me everything's fine when it isn't. Now kindly fuck off and stop stalking me.

    Complaints are how the provider of the software knows that it isn't working. People like you pretending that everything is fine is one of the reasons why the Linux desktop is still irrelevant.

    Why do people always say this bollocks. Just because you've been lucky (or glossed over the tinkering you had to do) doesn't mean others have. The Linux end user experience is criticised because it's still not good enough.
