Specifically? I don’t know. It would likely help if the conversation around new user distros was a bit less of an argument or if the number of suggested distros was a bit less. It would help with the decision paralysis aspect of it at least. I see enough threads of experienced users troubleshooting more than I really want to deal with, I stopped maintaining my modded skyrim installation because I was fixing when I could be playing and I don’t like the idea of my whole computer being like that because I chose the wrong hardware (I have nvidia)
I know its one of the strengths of Linux, but I can’t help but laugh that the response to “you can’t agree on one, how can I?” is for several people to suggest several distros.
The thing is, I don’t care to distrohop and experiment with this or that. I just want to use my computer. Until I see a distro that can convince me that switching will be actually painless (not ‘long time linux user painless’, but ‘casual new user that does more than just web browse’ painless) I’ll just use windows.
I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in my circle who even knows what Linux is.
Linux users can’t even agree on what distro is actually beginner friendly, so how am I supposed to pick one with any confidence?
It was easy for me, and has never come back. Then again, a lot of the fear mongering I see about windows has never been my experience with it.
Finding out about Charlemagne blew me away. Christopher Lee was so much more badass than I knew.
Kurt Angle didn’t win an Olympic Medal with a BROKEN FREAKIN’ NECK and develop a percocet addiction to be called Methster Clean.
They’ve never come back for me.
I’ve not personally met someone like that either, but I AM terminally online and see it a lot. It’s usually Andrew Tate enjoyer types.
My understanding is that its less about the word itself and more about the usage in contrast to how the same person refers to men. Males will be men, dudes, bros, etc. but they’ll only refer to women as females. Usually with a thinly veiled distain. “All these dudes just hanging out but the FEMALES are fighting.” or some shit.
You found an airbnb with a toddler? Did they serve you drinks or something?
Take a picture of your screen.

And pomegranate too, at least for my anti-rejection meds.
Watched a bit of a video of a guy that went to Computex and asked any vendor with AI plastered somewhere what they were doing with it. Most spouted some meaningless word salad and a few literally shrugged.
It was a little more nuanced than that, but yeah. It was more like “realize the potential consequences of your actions” in regard to ad block and piracy and not “you’re a thief stealing from me specifically.”
I saw that thread, I think. Or the same person in another thread talking about the same thing.
You mean like in Vbucks? /s
If people didn’t come out of the woodwork to tell people welding was so simple that their 5 year could do it then maybe they’d be less turned off by the time and effort it takes to learn it.
