In a world where every tech company sells itself on simplicity, one man has the tenacity to stand up form what’s right to him: telling other people they just should try harder!

Oh facts on that one, still dont really get it tbh but most of my use it’s containered anyway
I feel like people have an interesting view of techy/advanced/etc
My view is that you need to pick something in line with your goals: some people may be techy but just need something to host files and a web browser and don’t care about new packages or whatever, or modern security or anything. I wouldn’t recommend mint or fedora for a gaming PC regardless of techiness, you know?
To be fair the nobara website is very “pet project” both in the design and also in the frequent warnings about using it for anything real. Is a good distro tho, having said that.
Agreed, this is the distro that worked best for my needs (modern security, without wanting to die from maintenance of that security)
To be fair arch has amazing docs, and even a rube like me can follow it decently well. I found endeavor to be the easiest distro to use. But agreed the attitude isn’t great.
Calling people stupid and lazy in nicer words is still calling people stupid and lazy.
Oh and here I thought it was what gnome devs thought I would like ;p
I won’t bother responding to your hate fueled rage post except to say those are all highly recommended distros, except Manjaro which I’ve already stated was hot at the time. Void for example is the no-contest top rated distro right now. When the “best” Linux has to offer won’t get past grub from their install wizard, that’s not an incompetence issue.
It’s my daily on 3 of 6 machines, 2 are installs from the last year
It sounds like you’ve read about but not used windows for a while tbh. The going online thing is true, but its not exactly confusing. Not sure what you mean by onedrive, I uninstalled it years ago.
this is the other thing linux communities are well-known for: blaming the user for not being good enough.
i think the last time my linux failed to boot there was a power outage…but the machine was a laptop. before that it was running an update (fedora/nobara). before that it was installing void (“installation complete” -> reboot ->grub recovery). before that it was running an update (pop_os). Before that it was running an update (manjaro, this was during a brief moment when it was very popular and linux folks claimed it was user friendly and suitable for moderate users). I’ve managed to recover from most of those cases listed above, but with the exception of manjaro that was 2023+2024 right there.
2024 is indeed the year of the linux desktop
sometimes the alternatives are even ok!
Agreed, it not fair and I appreciate the breakdown. I just get frustrated with the (more common on Lemmy) attitude that it’s up to users to deal with linux’ many many shortcomings for daily use that are in your category 1, especially.
