The Operating System Hierarchy Of Pain

The operating system hierarchy of suffering, perfectly summarized! MacOS treats you like a helpless child who needs guardrails on everything. Windows gives you the illusion of control with that shiny "admin" badge. But Linux? Linux throws you into the deep end with nothing but a terminal and says "figure it out, genius." Nothing says "I love pain" quite like spending your weekend compiling your own kernel just to get your WiFi working. It's not a real Linux experience until you've contemplated your life choices at 3 AM while frantically Googling obscure error messages that only three people on Earth have ever seen.
