It used to be great for answering very specific, sometimes niche, questions. Now it just brings up irrelevant answers, outdated forums and Amazon ads.
Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find

Anecdotally, I recently had an issue with my printer and used Google to search for the exact error message (something like ’ “error 4308e ink absorber pad is full” Brother JW539DW ') and the first three pages of results were random garbage about other things. If other search engines are worse, we are doomed.

Other search engines are better. Subjectively mostly, but to the point where I think I van almost day objectively. I used DuckDuckGo for 5 years now, and it’s crazy to see the difference.
I’m a Linux user too and there it’s the dame thing. I look at windows users and just wonder why people put up with all that shit while o have this super nice, legally free, stable system that doesn’t fuck around with me.
It feels like people are crazy but obviously it’s not that. It’s just that people don’t know any better. You search? That’s Google. The company got their brand and logo cemented in so many people’s brains that they’ll never fail, no matter how bad they get

Linux has been anything but stable in my experience, while windows has been exceptionally stable in the last decade
