linux sucks because i was promsed a cute penguin but instead got some blue triangle???
Android comes pre-installed on my device, with automatic security updates and manufacturer support for the likely lifetime of the device.
I’d definitely use a Linux PC if it came out of the box ready to go like that.
says linux is bad but uses the world-wide web 🤭
Says Linux is bad but uses toaster.

Who says linux is bad? At worst people say it’s too hard for them to use at home, but i never heard someone say it’s bad.
It’s a meme, you just got on the internet yesterday, huh?
Typical Linux distributions are almost objectively harder to use than Android. I’d be surprised if anyone really disagrees with this. When someone complains about Linux being hard to use, it’s the POSIX-based Linux distributions that must support arbitrary hardware (often poorly so) that they refer to. I don’t need to care about installing NVidia drivers and whether they’re compatible with EFI handover when I buy an Android phone.

So are Windows and macOS.
Sorry I don’t follow your point.
You do need to worry about whether or not your phone is locked to a specific carrier and if its the carrier you want to use the phone with. or, if its a phone you want to bring to another network, you have to figure our if you need to argue with your current carrier to get it unlocked.
To piggyback off this, Windows is also “harder” than Android. You need to reinstall Windows due to an update fuckup? You tried building your own PC? Well, you either fork.over $120 for an installation media, or you have to create your own, then learn how to boot into the BIOS to boot from that media, then you need to scour the internet for not only your Nvidia driver, but your audio driver, WiFi driver, integrated graphics driver (if you have and want to use an IGPU) and possibly motherboard drivers if your mobo has some odd implementation that requires a driver for USB 3.1 to work properly.
None of these operating systems are “harder” than another. You are just used to one over the other. You don’t use your automatic transmission car skills trying to drive a manual transmission, unless your goal is to crash and burn.
It’s not that Linux is bad, it’s the fans of it that are annoying
Ok. How is that relevant to the post or the comment?
Usually people who installed it yesterday and are mad it doesn’t behave exactly like the OS they’ve been using for the last 20 years (which they also had to learn how to use)
“Linux is bad”, because it doesn’t provide have data collection and transfer to shady corporations with large PR umbrellas, out of the box.
