I’m sure no one in this community needs to be convinced to try Linux. But I love it every time I see a non-Linux person trying Linux and showing other people that it works. (Also nice to see that Jeff Gerstmann is still around and doing alright after getting screwed over by Gamespot for like 15 years.)
It baffles me how a lot of people in the Linux bubble are simultaneously massive gatekeepers and annoyed when Windows people don’t love Linux. A lot of replies to my comment is essentially “Well, this distro is not for noobs. Have you tried not being an idiot?” They don’t realize how condescending and arrogant they sound. I didn’t take computer science classes at university, and I shouldn’t have to in order to be able to use an operating system that is not Windows, but doesn’t take more time solving problems than doing the stuff that I actually purchased my hardware for.
Sp3ter put on a fine display.
Yep. The community is its own worst enemy with usability. There was a discussion on how guis were terrible and shouldn’t be needed. In 2026. Baffling.
