This is one of those situations where “both sides are bad” actually holds weight.
Yes, Linux communities are full of insufferable shitheads who have way too much emotional investment in what is essentially a tool. I onced looked up some information on Youtube about flatpacks to educated myself and ended up watching some moron have a 20 minute meltdown about how they’re “soy and unmanly”. As a Linux user, that is fucking embarassing.
Hardline Windows users are shitheads in their own right, too. If something isn’t handed to them or requires effort beyond dragging and droppping files, it’s proper shit and you’re just an out-of-touch nerd for trying to mainstream this esoteric nonsense. It’s a thought-terminating cliche about Linux and its users that’s about 25 years out of date. I don’t know shit about the terminal, BASH, or what the fuck a GRUB is but I’ve been using Linux Mint for two years now with zero issues. Yes, even when running games.
the largest barrier to linux is its user base
Dont interact with it then. There are manuals.
Replying to that with an “RTFM” response has to be some kind of meta-joke.
It was meant to be, seems people were unhappy with it 😅
What kept me from swapping longer than anything else was spite for the shitty linux community.
And they’re straignt up delusional about the amount of software that works on Linux. There is no FOSS equivalent to Wilcom, for example. It’s like how they claim GIMP is the same as Photoshop, but I’ve used both and GIMP is absolute ass in comparison.
Ah yes let’s be dicks. That’s how you can get people to switch over.
Brb, going to get fired for installing Linux on all the work computers.
