That would make sense

I wonder why every version of the couch has a window on the right of the generated image

That is definitely your Windows bias haunting you. Package managers are the way to get software on your Linux distro. Going straight to the source has it’s place, but for 95% of use cases, you should be using your package manager.

Maybe they’re slowly working toward making Windows work on the Linux kernel in order to offload maintenance costs to the open source community… 👽🛸

Does that also imply the existence of “Semichubby BSD”?

Shouldn’t it be “Megahard Linux”?

Truth

Home Assistant comes with a weather app that you can use for scripting.

I’m not 100% certain as I only ever had it on SNES, but I’ve heard that the way the frame timings worked on SNES made the jumping in levels like Just Can’t Wait To Be King much harder. YMMV

Were you playing it on Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis?

Get a better cooler?

I don’t know what’s worse, that you’re spamming this shit everywhere, or that you’re obviously doing it by hand.

You’re right. But you do have to be willing to continue learning.

“I don’t want to learn something new, therefore Windows is better.”

I was learning to code, but stopped bothering with that shortly after.

Yeah, Linux is pretty easy and user friendly for day to day use for the vast majority of users, since most people spend all their time in a browser anyway. It’s just that hurdle of getting it installed. The people who use it without issue are usually those that know nothing about Linux, and the very experienced. It’s the people in the middle that have trouble, they know enough to get themselves in trouble, but not enough to solve the problems they run into.

That’s pretty much where ChromeOS comes in. Linux out of the box, and the same tinkerers will still get into trouble and blame Linux, but when they reset the machine, it’s back to Linux. Same story as Windows. If it comes preloaded, the end user will be happy with it, but the tinkerers always overestimate their skills/understanding.

I feel like every time I’ve had to fix someone’s Linux install, it was caused by someone trying to add software that they don’t need, but are used to using in Windows.

Most recently a friend needed to update Linux Mint, and a TeamViewer ppa was preventing the upgrade from completing. Not a difficult fix, but something that comes up often in my experience.

The really Insidious part of Windows getting worse is that since they are the defacto desktop operating system, people get used to the terrible way things are done, and get confused when another OS does it differently. It’s so frustrating, because your end up with threads like this as a result… ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Just make sure you keep the laser printer away from areas that you occupy regularly/while you use it. They offgas small amounts of ozone, which is toxic. Not to mention that breathing in the toner is pretty terrible too.

Obviously I disagree with your main point, but, considering I have been a Linux only user (in my personal life) for over a decade, it’s only natural that I would consider it easy to use and intuitive, as such, I won’t even try to argue against that assertion.

With that said, if you want to make a point against something just working, you may want to choose something other than printers as evidence of how bad Linux is. Printers are universally terrible on every OS.

Anecdotally, I have had far fewer issues with printers on Linux than I have had with printers on Windows. But, most of the “tech support” I do for printers is from people who are arguably tech illiterate and using Windows. So, I’d again consider that a wash that doesn’t really add weight to either side of the argument.

tl;dr: printers are universally terrible and we should all stop using them anyway
