    The picture is not entirely correct.

    First, the windows tank if full of holes, with new ones drilled every day, and Linux is not just an emergency fix.

    The funniest thing I’ve seen is someone asking for help with an issue on Linux Mint on a certain subreddit and a lot of commenters attacked him for using Mint, saying he should just install Fedora if he wants a good Linux experience. Then, a couple of posts under that one was another guy, asking for help with his issue on Fedora. The comments clowned on him, saying “what did you expect from Fedora? It sucks! Install Linux Mint instead, it just works!”.

      “Diversity is our biggest strength”, the diversity in Linux distros can be kinda toxic. Like everyone is sooo defensive that they have the best distro (kinda like denominations in Christianity). While Linux forums are an abundance of knowledge and info there will always be fights in the comments.

    I feel this every time I install a new windows PC and need to download anything.

    Sign in with your Microsoft account?

    Import from chrome?

    Choose a theme?

    Such AI’s dick?

    Fuck off.

    You can basically just ask Google or an ai how to get your program working on Linux and get correct instructions immediately

    If you can do that and actually follow those instructions you don’t need any coding experience to use Linux

      I was a little surprised that AI was actually not too off, or at least when it was, it was because it misunderstood the distro I used. I don’t think it’s a good idea to go beyond basics though, like installing random stuff from the AUR to fix something can go horribly wrong.

        Ya, I was playing around with I think auto mounting? When I was new to Linux and asked ai for help. It ended up brimming my system, Luckily I documented what it said to do and was able to boot into recovery and reverse it.
