The slur there is uncalled for and absolutely not okay.

But you did talk shit about Linux so...

Jesus christ! What the hell is wrong with people???

I'm on ZorinOS, but I gotta say, this is the dark ages of PC. Windows is full on dog shit, Mac always has been expensive as fuck, and Linux just doesn't have the userbase to rely on companies making their programs available for the format.

On top of that linux has ALWAYS has had a very terminal based culture.

I've always said and continue to believe that linux CAN BE good for the average nontech minded folk. The way this happens is Flatpak becomes the dominant format in program installation. Terminal doesn't have to change, it can still be used exactly as it is, but it takes a backseat in terms of how the system is presented to newbies.

If I look up how to fix X problem on linux, I should by default find a GUI based solution. YOU can still use terminal to do whatever you do. I myself don't get it. The average user doesn't get it. I find solutions online. They say "Put this command in terminal". I do that, it goes as expected. And then "ok, now run these commands" and the first few go as expected. And then it will spit out some error that I don't understand. "ERROR THE L LISTS AREN'T COMBOBULATED TO THE FCAP COMPORRIUM" or some shit. What the hell??? What am I supposed to do with that??? So you copy the error, ask online what it means, and they say "Oh, your L Lists just need to be updated to the new repository. Just sync your flabarts to the chukchuk."

And thats about the time I lose my temper and decide to just get really drunk and watch the big bang on over the air tv, because what the hell does any of this matter anyways if I can't even install a simple program, and update some drivers?

Now. Let's rewind. What if linux, regardless of distro had the same flatpak store, the same interface for it, and some under the hood settings that are standard across the board? The rest of the distro can be whatever, but you should have a reliable way to change and update basic shit.

And for those of you like the guy in this threads photo, who are going to bombard me with death threats and insults, just consider this. People have been saying Windows is unusable dog shit since the 90s. Mac has always been unaffordable for most people. And Linux is free, and supposedly 1000% more stable in every way. Yet last time I looked, Linux, on the rise, had an all time high user base sharehold of 5.49% of the PC market. If you think I'm wrong, explain why Linux isn't not just the leader, but the dominant leader. Being free AND better should make it the obvious choice, but it's clearly not. There's a reason for that. And it's terminal.

Right now we're living in the dark ages of PCs. We got windows at it's all time worst, mac expensive as always, and linux still pushing users away by far.

I mean sure, but imagine being that guy. With those brains, its hard to even cook pasta.

We should all celebrate having the good fortune of not being like that guy.

That's your alt, right?

Should be enough to get banned, eh. Good riddance.

I don't dislike linux, I dislike all the work people mention to me when I say I don't use it because I'm as lazy as futurama's lazy moon man. The response to that is usually a long list of taks they claim to be a very easy way to install Linux. I don't care how hard or easy it is. I only do one thing. If I have to do two things, that's too many things to do.

Call me when someone makes a distro that is as lazy as an android phone: press a button, all gets done on its own.

Hell yeah, new flair!

/uj that sucks, pal.

Why are they calling you a cigarette?

I really learned to appreciate the Linux people after meeting the FOSS crowd. These people literally make me want to pay for software.
