Linux is easy.
I love Linux. I’ve moved both my PC and laptop to Linux this year and gotten rid of Windows completely and I’m loving it. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed doesn’t get enough love.
That being said… Linux is not easy guys. This guy is full of shit. But I would still recommend trying it if you’re an enthusiast with this sort of inclination.
Like anything, it’s easy once you know how it works. Knowing how Linux works only takes several years.
It can be. But people don’t usually read instructions or ReadMEs or Docs first?
I will never under why not. Did you know:
National average Proficient 34% Basic 65%
That is totes a big ooof and explains a lot about many people. @.@
If I had to read documentation first, I wouldn’t be using Linux. We write software so we can automate things, so we should be able to automate away most of the troublesome parts until we’re just left with a useful device that does its job.
It really explains why assembly instructions are mostly useless pictures now.
Well, that also saves money on localization costs, when you’re selling to people across many different languages.
May I introduce you to republicans, and the bible belt?
And Windows is hard
Show me your hair.

Not compared to using a console.

Consoles are easy, and I love my PS5 for chilling and playing games, and I love my Linux PC for its power and freedom from corporate bullshit.

That you don’t have admin access to. Good for not fucking it up, bad for freedom.

It’s remarkably difficult to really fuck up freebsd. On Linux, getting boots to fail is easy. FreeBSD is quite a bit more robust in that regard, as the base image isn’t updated piecemeal.

I’d easily make the trade of linux standard being impossible to fuck up without rooting it, if it meant it became as easy to run as a commercial OS.

Might be based on FreeBSD, but much in the same way as Android is based on Linux, it doesn’t provide you any of the freedoms that a typical Linux distro does.

Fisher price makes some good toys if you want something easy to play with.
essteeyou@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Same to your “Linux is easy” comment then.

I’m talking about an operating system, not a toy. Playstation is a toy, like a tonka truck, or a tricycle. Your rebuttal is bad.

You are the reason why people think Linux fans are obnoxious twats.
