Re:An Ode to Linux Desktop Users Everywhere by blakeyrat on Tuesday December 06, 2016 @02:10PM (#13117343)
It's been a couple years, but it used to be my hobby (after a Linux user told me their Linux laptop "just worked") to reach over and hit the mute button on their keyboard, which rarely worked.

Not sure if that trick is still effective. But the Linux definition of "everything works" is a little different than the Mac or Windows definition. It's more like, "everything a CLI-using geeky developer cares about works."

Totally. Which is cool sometimes.

Everything "just works" in the sense that Linux is written in a Turing complete language and at the end of the day we are just moving memory between registers.
