This is so much generic FUD, any specifics of the "garbage" you're talking about. It honestly sounds like the generic FUD that was repeated about Linux a decade ago and you either haven't tried it recently or you haven't learned how to use it.*
* There was a post recently on HN, where someone was trying to use Homebrew on Linux, rather than the native package manager.

I've seen you post 10 times in this thread alone with just "Oh, you can't be serious. What BS!" or something along those lines to anyone who has criticized Linux or has said that they just haven't had luck getting it to work. If you can legitimately see the problems with Linux to the average user, then maybe you need to take a few steps back and actually watch someone use it.

I have asked for specifics, none were given. This generic "Linux sucks!" attitude is not helpful and I don't have a different term for it than FUD. If you want to criticise something, share specifics.

Linux needs a benevolent dictator, like Steve Jobs, to tell people, "no, your code is shit, your idea is shit, fuck off" instead of a community that indulges every contribution no matter how lame, stupid, confusing and non-functional it is.
Someone like Linus maybe?

^ this!
I agree wholeheartedly. I was hoping Canonical was going to be this but sadly they have been rather weak.

Canonical seems to embody a company culture which is just about non-directional enough to start mirroring the overall Linux ecosystem culture, so yeah, rather weak.
When man pages start with a few practical real-world examples, I'll think about it.
When some of the more experienced Linux devs figure out a way of purging the stub code created by noobs writing "my first Linux app haw haw" and sending these vile critters on a one-way trip to space, I'll think about it.

When I can be sure that my package manager won't break "ls" (and every other basic command) while doing a routine installation of a user level application (glibc is now toast; reinstall), I'll think about it.
Linux will stop being garbage when there aren't 17 different places to put everything and every dev assumes that every user knows all of them and is in possession of an encyclopedic knowledge of arcana going back to ENIAC.
Explain everything every time!
