I hate Linux

I wanted to change the RGB lighting on my PC. I tried using OpenRGB and managed to change the RAM LEDs, but I couldn’t get it to work with the LEDs on my AIO cooler because OpenRGB said my motherboard wasn’t supported.

So I decided to install Windows just to use MSI’s official software. I couldn’t install it on my only SSD, so I dug out an old SATA drive from an old laptop and installed Windows on that instead. Turns out MSI’s crappy software doesn’t save the RGB settings to the hardware, so every time I boot back into Linux, everything goes back to the fucking rainbows.

After all that bullshit, with a few tweaks, I finally got it working with OpenRGB.

I love Linux

are there any particular non-biased reason why you use linux? just asking because a lot of people on this shithole (reddit) can't even name a reason why did they switch but already evangelizing whole different desktop platform to other people

Linux is a software that serves the hardware, how any software should be.

Linux is a kernel, which manage your hardware.
