I’m sorry to hear about your child’s condition. Hope they can find a cure for it soon, wish you all the best.

Sir this is the nerd zone, and here you are complaining that there’s nerds in the nerd zone talking about nerd things.

I convinced many of average Joes and Marys to switch without issue, never have I had to bother tell them what a wayland or X11 is, I just put Linux Mint on their laptops, give them a few practical tips (stuff like “use the app store instead of scouring websites for your software”), things just work and they happily go do whatever they do with their PC.

Which distro?

Whichever one you prefer.

I don’t have the Windows issues you all tell me I have

Cool, /c/windows is over here you might probably enjoy it more than this place.

Tech worker and enthusiast vs slopper

you don’t have to memorize the commands, just use tldr command and apropos to your advantage.

Everything will seem difficult when you’re not used to it and are changing habit, it’s not just a GUI to CLI thing.

Pardon my ignorance but what does P&CI stand for?

Edit: nvm got it I think it’s Point & Click Interface

Just cause you opt out of those features doesn’t mean the car doesn’t have other mandatory shit that connects to the internet to, say, sell data like the exact times and locations of when you have sex.

Inb4 “but I don’t have to worry about it cause I don’t have sex” we know, but that’s not the only thing they gather data on.

Both of my statements are correct. Cars shouldn’t have internet and there should be less cars. In total absence of offline cars (meaning no used cars, nothing at all), use bikes and public transportation if you can.

I mean you literally asked for an alternative and I gave you one.

Public transit/bikes are (or should be) a good alternative if you can’t find normal, used, dumb cars anymore

And this is another reason why putting internet on cars is a bad idea

Besides, the real command is rm -fr ~

Use an easy to use immutable distro like Fedora silverblue

Tbf not letting the average windows user turn off windows defender is a good idea

Apparently there is one

I honestly don’t see this thorough testing. Not for a lot of apps I use anyway. It’s normal tbf even with 2 year you can’t thoroughly test every package for every bug, so you’re stuck with very old bugs a lot more often than people think. And on top of that some packages are so old that instructions you find on their git pages or wherever are too new and don’t work.

Could someone remind me what the appeal behind Void is exactly?

I use Arch btw

I’m sure “she used windows” will hold up in court

In this case it’s useful to torrent Linux ISOs without leaking your IP

It’s also one of the few privacy-respecting VPNs that allow port forwarding
