Honestly, I agree with @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net
Ok fair enough, but I wouldn’t have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.
I’m not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.
These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It’s also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.
Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic “use Linux”.
I am not a computer toucher but I am also not a sucker who is going to subject his hard drive to auto ingestion by an LLM or have ads baked into his OS, so rather than upgrade to W11 I’m just saying fuck it and flashing my laptop with Mint, because someone told me one time it would be pretty easy to interact with. I’m sure I will figure it out, and if it sucks there are a bunch of other flavors to try.
