You will note how much more expressive and versatile ASCII art can be
when compared to those ridiculous and stale Unicode emojis.

Lol, you're an interesting character to post here, what was so
bad about it? Were you expecting it to be the same thing as
Winblows? God forbid anyone had to use their brain to operate
a computer.
No shit, you said it sucks, I say *you* suck at using it, then.
That's the only reason it would suck, because I can do anything
with Linux that Winblows could do.

Another thing to point out, about that, is how absurd their
pricing is. Look at their site, at how there are options for
storage and RAM and such, that are tiered in remarkably arbitrary
ways, at *outrageous* prices. It's unreal. These MacTards are
just bleeding money to this piece of shit corporation.

That “crap” is running just about the entire infrastructure of the Internet. Without it, nobody would hear you scream.

You obviously neglected to read the fine print message that
accompanies each and every GNU/Linux/FOSS product:
"Warning: Keep out of the reach of children"
And in your case there is more:
"Especially little girls"
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Because it’s the closest thing humanity has ever achieved to a
“universal” OS.
That's a good way of describing Linux.
My opinion is that Linux is like a Swiss army knife. It can be anything
and do pretty much anything a user might request of it.
Want to learn about Linux?
Choose something like Gentoo or Linux From Scratch.
Want it to just work with no fuss?
Something like Linux Mint, Ubuntu, etc would be a good choice.
And even within those distributions, the ability to customize the system
to your particular needs is awesome.
Or just leave it alone.
You have choice, which is why I like Linux.

It's the only OS in existence that I can relate to. macOS is equally
sleek, though, if one is willing to dwell in Apple's realm.

“Sleek” as in the GUI? But Apple only offers you one choice of GUI, while Linux has multitudes -- yet another aspect of its universality.

KDE Plasma might be less bloaty than XFCE.
Nobody cares. Get your boring crapola out of alt.slack, dumbass.
