      I’m genuinely laughing out loud, such a wild comment out of left field caught me totally off guard. I don’t think I’ve seen such stupid malice in actual years

    Anyone who has this strong of a reaction to something so inconsequential must be a deeply unhappy person. It sucks to suck.

    Also, anyone who calls someone a ‘fag’ is a complete fucking moron. I doubt things will improve for them with so few brain cells to work with.

        In what way did they troll me? Did somebody call them a fag or not? If so, I don’t care what their justification was, that person is an asshole.

    I would also like to have nice little messages in my inbox. I run Linux though. Debian Stable to be exact. If you run anything else you are wrong and stupid.

    I’m currently in the process of converting over; have a dual boot and will probably leave it that way for the next year.

    It is NOT, by any measure, that Linux is annoyance free and perfectly designed. It’s that Windows has been building up its annoyances in competition, so that going penguin takes a considerable measure of bloat off.

    We’re at a point where some games are just performing better through Proton than running right on Windows.

      I dual boot as well, and the only thing I’ve booted my windows install for was to work around a driver issue where my headset mic was no longer detected. Other than that, and troubleshooting why flat packs weren’t launching, my install of Bazzite has been rock solid.

      Good plan. You’ll definitely find things you don’t like along the way and struggle. And having something to get things done in a crunch is useful. Just keep learning and in the end you’ll have all the tools you need and it’ll be great.

    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.

    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.

      Most of it is habits

      You’re used to windows so it doesn’t seem like that to you

      If you do simple normie stuff, it’s super easy. For more advanced users, yea it’ll require some knowledge

      There’s a difference between being lazy and being unwilling to learn. I’m not trying to proselytize at you, but Linux can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. Shit, I’m lazy too lol.

      I’m running Cachyos because everything worked right out of the box with my hardware and it plays all my games without having to configure anything besides clicking on the “install gaming packages” button. It’s based on Arch though so you could install that instead and set it all up yourself to tweak it to your heart’s content. That’s kind of the beauty of it.

      I rather leave you as a windows user to suffer. :)

      Because if you want a computer to be a tv, then windows is the best.

      For real, I am even calling over friends for help to set up a Windows PC or a printer. I have absolutely no idea about technology and computers. I want something easy and mainstream because this way I have an easier time getting support. Two steps are one step too much. I have a lot of strengths but understanding tech is definitely not one of them. And frankly, I neither have the time nor interest to learn anything about it. I have a great respect for linux and I have fond memories of playing a game on my dad’s computer, but it’s not something that’s for me.
