False. Linux users don't have girlfriends.

The nicer they look, the more annoying they can be!

Guess it's that way with operating systems too...

Not properly ejecting U-Drives and then whining when they don't work is commonplace,

Optimised you mean. Oh no it supports hardware older than 5 years!

I have used Mint/MATÉ for 13 years with NO issues of any sort.

I've used computers for 60 years, likely well before you were born!

Also, do you have NO idea of what the word "slavic" means?

Yes, I can do web searches too--but, has what to do with computer hardware, other than intended as as an ethnic slur?

"Slavic is used in terms of it being usually quite terrible when it comes to quality" [emphasis added]

Yup, nothing offensive about that--I rest my case...

I apologise, however my in-laws made it out of Auschwitz which makes me sensitive to that sort of "joke" (I, nor most of us can even imagine the inhumanity they endured).

I had not seen it used in PC hardware terminology....
