Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Yea chatgpt is great at this. Yea, installing stuff can be confusing some times. Happens more rarely in windows. Pick the method that is easiest for you. If it does not work right away, use an alternative software. The more popular, the better support and ease of use. Hopefuly Valves efforts in linux gaming and microsofts crackdown on privacy, pushes more people towards linux. Only the future will tell where this is going. I remain optimistic.
Yeah I'm willing to go thru all this since I don't use this computer for much other than playing 2 - 3 games so once its set up I don't need to mess with it anymore. Overall I love the software. I just hate installing stuff and troubleshooting things.
It just seems obviously flawed idea that I'm supposed to just blindly trust some random website and copy&paste code from there and instert it into terminal despite having zero clue what it does and just take their word for it.
Yea, troubleshooting is not that fun. That is why I would just abandon a piece of software that gives me trouble. As long as there is an alternative.
It is not recommended to paste things blindly. I would double check every command that is suggested. Chatgpt is good at it, in the sense that it usually gives something that looks alright and works. Sometimes it doesn't even make sense. But instead of composing the commandline from scratch, I take what it gave me and look up what each switch does. It saves time and I am bad at figuring out how some commands are formated, based on the man file.
