HN quotes it as a joke whenever OS complaints and comparisons come up.
A comedy song by onedeadtroll, from the Windows XP and OS X 10.3 era, lamenting that every operating system is bad. It features Wes Borg and Chris Smith.
This reminds me of "Every OS Sucks" by Wes Borg of Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie (with Chris Smith playing the guitar). Here's the relevant part of the song about Linux: [this video]
> Two years ago or so I bought a ThinkPad with an AMD Ryzen CPU Things have changed a bit since then[1]. The new Phoenix chips are quite competitive with the M2 as far as performance and TDP goes. Your other complaints are with Lenovo, not AMD. I doubt anyone will argue that Apple laptops don't have the best build quality. Apple has the advantage of full vertical integration, so it's very difficult for any other manufacturer to compete on things like battery life and power efficiency. The Linux glitches you describe is the usual Linux jank. I don't disagree that even the most well-supported Linux laptop will have these. As a Linux user, you choose to deal with these issues because the alternative of relying on a corporation to decide how you're going to use your computer is not an option. I've also heard and experienced my share of issues with macOS and Windows. In the eternal words of a modern philosopher: every OS sucks[2]. [1]: [link] [2]: [this video]
