Windows fanbois are the idiots, not regular Windows users
Trying to do something complicated on Linux:
15 step Arch wiki detailing 3 different methods of doing the same thing
Trying to do the same thing on Windows:
:bugs-no: :windows-cool:
This doesn’t make Windows less complicated, it means trying to do that thing on Windows is in fact INFINITY COMPLICATED because it’s IMPOSSIBLE. Checkmate MicroShills.
The people who think Linux is complicated don’t care about why windows sucks
the biggest barrier to desktop linux adoption is difficulty of learning a new, slightly janky user environment. the second biggest barrier is the way Linux People are
Like a lot of people’s lives don’t revolve around their computers honestly the Linux chauvinism on the front page every day is getting tedious.
We get it. You love your operating system or whatever. Can you find something else to post about?
I don’t know why you’re surprised that we stan the less-capitalist OS on the anti-capitalist forum.
In other words :bugs-no:
I don’t care that you like it and post about it I care that they’re chauvinist. Why do all the posts need to be about calling people who don’t use Linux idiots? Like a lot of people just use their computers to write emails and use a word processor, the idea that you want to constantly bay about how they’re morons for not learning a bunch of completely unnecessary and complicated procedures just kind of sucks honestly
Linux may not always be user friendly, but it is never user hostile in the way that Windows often is.
I’m not a genius or anything but when I switched to ubuntu recently it didn’t try to make connect to the internet and register an account during the goddamn setup phase. Oh also all my drivers just installed automatically :thonk:
The thing about Linux though is that Linux based developers won’t add 15 lines of code to a program. Instead they’ll add 15 lines of code to a fucking readme so you can enter them one by one into the fucking terminal,
And guess what?
2 of those lines don’t do shit because that developer installed 14 layers of dependencies to their computer 9 years ago and forgot that they don’t come stock, which means they don’t even mention that it might be a problem or what the fuck to do
Once you finish Googling the fix for the fix for the fix for the fix for your problem, you can run some neato stuff
I installed linux back when vista came out and i wss so pissed. And this was my impresion about it. Also thete was no word prossesor with a functional spellcheck wich meant everything i wrote was giverish. After a year or 2 i had to format and went back to windows.

I believe you
Windows: Works out of the box fairly smoothly for two years, before bloat slowly drags your machine into a ditch and drowns it in a puddle full of malware
Linux: 48 consecutive hours of installation by several people with PhDs in software, but once its done you’ll be able to run it until the hardware breaks.
