The fact we’re still on Windows should tell you something about Linux.

It tells you more something about how lazy and lethargic the average consumer is. How hot and fast you can boil the water of that particular frog species before it even starts to think of jumping ship.

As long as X game with horrible anti-cheat and Y commercial software with a million dollar monopoly on its polish works the average windows user just does not care what Microsoft does.

Or the average consumer just doesn’t care enough about computers.

It may sound wack to the average tech fan, but there are plenty of people who never even visit the internet, let alone own a computer.

Ah yes. The lazy and lethargic consumers that need to use that Y software, and want to play that X game. How dare they.

So I switched to Linux a couple of weeks ago, got fedora set up, connected to WiFi and then set up proprietary Nvidia drivers. It wanted to reboot to so whatever is needed with secure boot.

When it came back I couldn’t use the internet or get it to connect again.

I’m a software engineer and a massive nerd. It ain’t as easy as just switch and problem solved.

Now it did get me interested in setting it up again with Arch, but let’s not pretend Linux is anywhere near as user friendly as MacOS or Windows. It is for nerds and will always be that way because it doesn’t just work out of the box.

Kinda sick of seeing all the disingenuous arguments that are pro Linux.

neither fedora nor arch are ever seriously recommended as a beginner linux distribution though…

Since leaving Windows for personal use in 2007, each and every new thing MS has done has validated that decision.
