Our Mac colleague is literally the only one in the dev team having constant troubles, constantly spinning up VMs to get stuff working.

Every Flatpak, Snap, and AppImage works on every Linux system I’ve tried.

it's a part time job only if you make it one That's why so many people also like Linux, you can find both simplicity and customisability and pick between each

I love Linux as well, but there’s always something you didn’t know about that breaks, and it’s up to you to figure out what broke and how to fix it.

I’ve had the problem for a while now that the audio is set to the wrong output after screen lock, and I have given up on finding a fix for it.

I don't know about macOS, but from experience, neither Linux nor Windows are actually "just works". Although it will depend on distro, I definitely have different experience on Arch and Manjaro than say Mint users. Mint worked for me well, although older dependencies have also killed "just works" a few times.

Davis died after being hit by a train on August 11, 2018.[7]"

It's an amazing piece of technology made as a hobby project by the absurdly talented Terry Davis. He gradually lost his world, house and evetually his life to debilitating mental illness, so it makes me sad to see posts like this using "mentally unstable lol" as a punchline.
