Gamers™ reaction: Noooo linux isn't stable! Support the things better!

My reaction all the time: Stop using proprietary shit, there cannot ever be proper community support for those, they literally forbid it by both law and not sharing the means of support.

And honestly if you think standards/specs specially the ones managed by some random committee/organisation are something actually followed you're going to be constantly displeased because working with standard bodies at best a pain, at worst pretty much impossible (like either because they're stuck in time / gatekeepers, or because they're pipe dreamers who can't grasp implementers needs).
