All of us here are generally either:

1. a Linux fanboy;
2. someone who has been a Linux fanboy;
3. someone who just uses Linux regularly.

Those in category (1) tend to look down their noses at other OS's, especially a certain one by MS whose name translates into French as fenêtres.

The reality is that all OS design involves compromises. Those who develop Linux make different compromises and design decisions compared to those who develop Windows or Macos. The consequence of this is that each of these, Windows, Linux, Macos, do some things better than the others, some things comparably well, and some things worse than the others. There is plenty that Windows gets right that Linux handles badly, for example.

Then the same logic applies to distros. There is no way to design a perfect distro that is ideal for everyone.

There is a famous saying, attributed to Maslow, that goes "To a man with only a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." While this is a little out of the context of the original remark, the logic applies aptly here: the Linux fanboy who looks down on other OS's is akin to the 'man with only a hammer', even if their 'hammer' has a cute penguin mascot called Tux.
