They seriously cannot stop talking about Linux... At this point, It's endlessly annoying, as it's on literally every post about any operating system.

Nearly every post is about Windows or MacOS yet when someone mentions Linux suddenly it's a problem?

Do you think people never hear about Windows, iOS, Android, etc?

I think you just get irrationally angry when people bring up something you don't use. We get it, you use Windows btw.

I find it kinda staggering you think it's not appropriate for someone to mention alternative OSes on a submission where people are criticising an OS lol.

Let's apply that thinking to another product: Samsung TV does bad thing. Do you think it would be inappropriate or unusual for commenters to mention that other TV brands exist? If not, then why is it different for this other tool?

It's not like there an infinite number of OSs. Unless you have a Mac the choice is basically Windows or Linux.
It's absolutely logical that any operating system post will have comments pushing Linux.

I hope that one day someone makes another better OS, because Linux is annoying as well. But until then you'll have to suffer these comments.

Meantime, the BSD crowd: "am I a joke to you?"
