Have you heard the good news about Linux?
It is still surprisingly far from straightforward to get it working
EDIT: I mean Android on Linux is difficult. Not Linux itself.
Fair enough. I’m just fulfilling Lemmy’s contractual obligation to mention Linux any time someone doesn’t want to “upgrade” to Windows 11.
Linus pays me $100 a month for spamming Linux. You also get payed, right?
Every. Fucking. Thread.
I fear becoming that guy, can you call me out if I do? Cheers.
“Hey instead of complaining about a few minor annoyances on Windows, why not just switch to Linux?”
Like I have many uses for Linux and appreciate it, but the amount of suggestions that I see telling someone that Linux is the fix is way too many
The point here is that MS made a pretty killer feature that was easy to set up, and it failed because nobody used it.
