Why do many people dislike Linux? Freedom and openness: Open source, No vendor lock-in, Many distributions Security: By default, more secure than Windows. Fewer viruses. Regular security updates.
And now briefly.

Oh yeah, I forgot about our gamers! They will whine that you can't play games on Linux. It's very funny because for a long time there has been a program called lux-wine that allows you to open 95% of .exe programs and even more so you can choose any version of Windows without downloading anything, there is like proton and so on.
I am ready to talk to anyone about this topic, but not for the purpose of humiliation or insult.
What's Linux? Why are you making a strawman to found yoer disagreement, there is no inherent value to what you believe to be obvious.
"Linux the kernel" is a wonder of the software world. One free and open source kernel codebase to rule them all, a culture, a license that enshrines that culture. The kernel is great as it is.
"Linux the kernel packaged with software used on the desktop" is flaming garbage. That's not to say it's worse, modern windows is like using the lava from Chernobyl to keep warm on a brisk evening. MacOS is relatively acceptable but Apple isn't. Open source BSD based OSes are cumbersome on the edges of general computing. Android is all but Google OS at this point. Ultimately no practical, actually useful alternatives to linux on the desktop actually exist. This does NOT mean we have to convince ourselves it is actually good.
"Linux the kernel and a server OS package" is great, can't go wrong with this. Love it, genuinely.
"Linux for embedded devices" is a fucking travesty. Still happens.
Various opinion roundup:
nix is the only case of anyone ever truly imagining what they could do with a Linux system
"open source" does not provide value, the implications do, when true
Linux is as secure as your dedication to never using software from outside the package manager is. Oh you installed discord? steam? compiled something and fetched dependencies? Those aren't the package manager, oops! (Discord gladly downloads its own updates whether you think you've stopped that or not)
Fewer viruses you've heard of
Regular security updates is a low effort troll given the corporate OSes are paid to do so
Why did you write as if I insulted Linux?
