true tbf

honestly i haven’t used windows in over a decade. i wouldn’t know. but people tend to be weirded out by having to do the terminal stuff but partner is vibing with it

oh yeah absolutely. but it’s still a bit of a culture shock, and u can’t really avoid terminal etc

i am up for it and i know that it’s likely to come when people switch. and i warn them as well. but particularly if it’s someone remote, i find it hard to help and they don’t always give me enough infos to help tho partner is not remote but it’s like i say “give me laptop” and they ask me to tell them how instead. they’re learning so fast and being really proactive with learning terminal and finding commands online etc i’m just proud of them

my partner @Anvil_Lavigne@hexbear.net was last on windows 10, we finally got them a new laptop and they were so against windows 11 we installed linux and they’re taking to it so so well

like usually when i help someone install linux i am literally running tech support for 6 months

like. i’ve never had a mouse break, or had to pay for software updates. because a mouse doesn’t fucking need software updates.

stop acting like you invented something other than a new scheme for extracting money from your victims. assholes.
