The funniest thing is it doesn’t even have to be this way with Windows. I’ve unfortunately had to go back to dual booting lately but I’m using Win 10 LTSC and I have to say I’m surprised how tolerable it is. I’d still rather not use it but eeh it’s fine.

Could it survive the stomach acid?

What about Steam? Linux gaming would be a whole lot worse off without Proton

I’d be fine with it if it didn’t also taste exactly like what it is, a shitty low quality by-product, it’s low key dog food. Actual ham is fire tho.

that thing that renames stuff to non clickbait

Sounds like something I’d use, what is it called?

Will it maybe work if I just unplug my Linux drive during the Win install?

Next technological revolution will be breakers in powerbanks

If you regularly need to take stool samples like me it’s easier as well. On the downside it’s smellier.

Exact experience I’ve had, in every workplace I’ve been Windows users have been a non-stop liability and required support for workarounds and hacks. Seeing their workflow through screenshare was kind of a culture shock.

99% of the time it’s just “make && sudo make install” or something like that. Anything bigger or more complicated typically has a native package anyway.

I don’t know if people use it on desktop but with its minimal size it’s convenient as hell for docker images that don’t need a lot of dependencies installed

Zsh with powerlevel10k + a few plugins

This could be a copy-pasta if it isn’t already one

Fun fact, “fos” means “liquid shit” in Hungarian, applies literally in this case

To add to everything else mentioned, many places (schools, workplaces) don’t allow any usage of BitTorrent, even legal. A guy at my uni got yelled at for torrenting a Linux iso. Not to mention depending on where you live your ISP might be interested in that activity unless you’re using a vpn.

I had tons of fun with 5, I got bored of 6 after a few hours and regretted not refunding it within the 2 hour window. It felt like a board game and a very mediocre one at that.

Users think the way they do because of what they’ve gotten used to in decades of Windows or Mac usage. Commands don’t HAVE to be foreign, I genuinely think people starting out with computers would be perfectly capable of learning the basics just like they learn what a file explorer or a web browser is. Someone advanced enough to install a different OS in the first place would especially benefit from this. We’re fighting over nothing anyway, you can use many modern Linux distros without ever touching the CLI.

Also, massive cringe discarding someone with a different opinion as a “tech cultist”.

Just out of curiosity, are you on Windows? If yes, I get why you’d think the CLI is archaic and a hindrance, it’s a terrible experience there. Whole other story on Linux and Mac though. As one example I personally think “sudo apt install name-of-program” is just a more straightforward and easier experience than browsing an app store or downloading an installer. I don’t mean to be an evangelist, it’s fine to stick to what works for you, but just because you’re used to one way of doing things doesn’t mean it’s the only good way.

Kind of, but why? I understand why the CLI is intimidating to a newbie but it’s not some arcane magic for leet haxxorz, but a poweful tool that everyone can learn to use. We Linux users weren’t born knowing how to use it just like a Windows user wasn’t born knowing how to use Control Panel. It’s a different way of working with a computer, but with patience and learning it will become a useful asset, I can’t imagine using a computer without it now.
