I mean, yes this is a perfect shitpost, but it’s going to get downvoted to oblivion.

Your reply seems to insinuate that all the software I could ever need will be included in the package manager. That’s just stupid.

I agree with your order of preference, but when I start having to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find what I need, it becomes hostile.

I’ve been trying to switch to Linux for at least 5 years. I wouldn’t say it’s any better now than it was then. I desperately want to love Linux, but it fights me at every step of the way. As a media pc… I have had zero success using it as a media pc. My one requirement is an on screen keyboard, but it doesn’t come with one, and all the offerings I’ve found are shit. They won’t work in some windows, or at all.

As a laptop… This has been the most successful. I’ve not had any real issues with Linux on various laptops, other than finding replacements for certain windows software, but that’s not really a Linux problem.

As my main pc… Gaming has been fine. Hdr has only really recently become a thing, and it seems fine. However, I’m constantly coming across stupid things are ARE a Linux problem. Downloading and installing software has too many methods. I understand downloading a file to install something. I understand downloading a script to install something. I even understand why you’d need to make that script executable before it’ll work. I don’t understand what to do with a bunch of random files that claim to be an installer but don’t seem to have an install script or a .deb package. I don’t understand why once I map/mount a network drive, it fucking disappears after a reboot and needs to have the mount process be automated at every reboot.

Linux is just hostile to users. And while it is, it’ll never massively succeed.

LTSC is a much better option.

“That’s not my problem any more…”

Linux isn’t good. Not for home users that want it to just work, imo. Linux will fight you at every step of the way, over every little thing. I’ve tried various versions over the years and I’ve always been put off by how anti-user it is. Want to set a custom dpi? Fuck you. Want to set a custom cursor size or colour? Fine, but fuck you it won’t work in a browser window. Want an on screen keyboard? Fuck you. Want to update or install anything that isn’t in a package store? Fuck you, terminal.

Don’t go in forwards. Never understood why people insist on going forwards into a parking bay. Less control, needs more room, harder to leave.

I just assume people that go in forwards can’t drive.

They don’t have decent worker rights in the US so this shit means nothing.

Like taking out seth macfarlane on a drinking bender on September 10th?

It’s in a shitty area. Think of the shitty exterior as camouflage. Burgler isn’t going to bother with the run down shitbox house.
