I heard a guy saying that linux was trash, he had tried it once but it didn't have drivers for anything and what did exist was difficult to install
So I asked him when it was that he tried it

I think he said something like 1998...

I genuinely had an experience like this myself. I suggested Linux as a solution for something to a friend of mine who was a physicist doing a start up. This was around 2015-2016. He went on an angry rant about frustrating Linux was and nothing would work. His last experience with it was in 2002.
