Because our brains are amazing and can just fill out the missing word while reading. It sometimes makes us miss obvious errors like that.

Or they’re waiting for the old people to die first before attempting so it’s easier to make sweeping changes.

I think those places need more support systems to reduce the number of people that becomes desperate enough to do that.

Who’s coping here when you’re the one completely dismissing my own experience with using Linux. That’s not a good look for someone supposedly giving ‘good’ advice.

That experience I had was from earlier this year, btw, so don’t tell me that whatever I want will work out of the box. This is why I hate whenever people say “just switch to Linux” without taking any responsibility. You don’t know what hardware people have and going to install Linux on.

You also claimed Linux is good for people with no money to buy new hardware, yet barely care to even make sure the people you tell this to doesn’t have hardware that might not be supported. What are they gonna do after your advice made the only hardware they have no longer connect to wifi or ethernet? I doubt you’d go out of your way to help them, then.

As for simplicity, I don’t see how W11 is any more complicated that Ubuntu. More resource heavy, yes, but that doesn’t affect the user experience much. Give me concrete examples on how they’re easier to use.

That’s hilarious. Just because you have experience with Linux doesn’t make it easier to use, either. And 90% of people in the workplace has experience with Windows and Windows only, so that means the majority of people already can use Windows easier even if both OSes are equally easy to use.

Considering all my experience with using Linux has been painful, I don’t believe you when you say Linux is easier. I can Google any issue to do with Windows and find the solution without delving too deeply. You know what happened the last time I tried to find the driver for the wifi card in my laptop for Linux? I had to find an obscure website that lists third party drivers for Linux only to find that it doesn’t exist for my specific card. The card that works flawlessly in Windows.

Imagine not having that knowledge before jumping all in on installing Linux. Most of the people in my office would’ve already sworn off Linux forever the moment they encounter such setback, especially if they were being lied to about the level of difficulty they would face.

Then it should not be hard to find hard evidence of them “pushing to get the lying cheating stealing rapist traitor elected” like you said.

I’m tired of seeing Lemmy just putting words into people’s mouth and downvoting people based on assumptions.

Which distros to choose, what are their pros and cons, which distros works best with whatever hardware they have? What about which of their existing hardware doesn’t work on Linux? Which of the software they use everyday and probably have spent money on the licenses doesn’t work on Linux at all and which can kinda work using WINE?

These are all questions that are not easily answered by people that lack the prior knowledge of Linux. Just saying “use Linux” is not simply useless advice if you don’t know their use case or the hardware they use, it’s practically harming the first time experience of non-tech savvy people with Linux.

What are you referring to here?

No, it’s useless advice for people who don’t already have knowledge about Linux.

Trust me, if you’re used to the AutoCAD workflow and UI, BricsCAD is just different enough that it can be a bit jarring and a huge drop to your productivity.

Where did he push for that?

Why? The end slices are the best ones.

So in your two hypothetical situation, what benefit does punishing you provide to any of the victims?

The only way I could think of is the ease of setting up a collaborative spreadsheet.

All they’re seeing is western Russia and war torn Ukraine. Not really an impressive view, is it?

It just sounds sarcastic to me.

Can you suggest a few.

1 reason for me, the algorithm. I can never find a lot of new thing to discover or new people to follow on Mastodon when I first started, which makes me not use it very much even now.

Does that mean you cannot distinguish between the two?

The mountain of footage of idiots in cars on the Internet disagrees even more. OTOH, what’s the worst footage of Tesla’s FSD you’ve can show me? I’m curious how much worse it is that what I’ve seen.
