Yeah good luck explaining how to install, use and maintain Linux to people who can barely do email.

I’m not gonna tell them to install Arch from scratch. I’d wipe-install Pop for 10$ because it’s literally just clicking “next” a couple of time while watching TV.

Installing Lime and Untabu is easy as hell. The issue is games. I cannot with good confidence intall it on my kid’s laptop and think it won’t break to play what he wants to play. We are divorced. It happens. But devs for Pete’s sake, make games work on every OS. It’s not your choice what we need for our PC needs.

I’ll figure it out before dropping 500+ bucks on a new PC.

Oh man. What a headache. I’m a seasoned Linux user but I couldn’t get my Nvidia GPU working on my Linux machine.

I had to switch back to Windows to be productive

Learning how to use open source alternatives to proprietary software on Windows is the starting point before transition to Linux.

Before that, learning how to use open source alternatives to proprietary software on Windows is the starting point before transition to Linux.

That’s a very weird sentence. I don’t like X because X enthusiast are so annoying.

It’s like saying “I used to have a positive attitude to pasta and even cooked rigatoni but you Italians are so annoying I really dislike the pasta.”
