    This is happening because Linux is the default OS for servers, robots, machines, etc., it just sucks balls for normie personal computing, so they’ll use Winblows for the basic stuff, and WSL for the server-centric tasks.

    Ubuntu can make it as toddler-centric as it wants, it won’t change the fact that eventually a person will find a thing their machine won’t do without an on-staff geek.

    If they have heart, they’ll try chasing the black screen into the depths of google oblivion or use AI for infinitely recirculating bad advice. It’s ironic that a LLM running on a Linux server can’t fix Linux.

    Most people will punt and go back to Microsucks which grows more evil and abusive every day.

    I’m just mad I can’t get any of my file-management containers to work properly.

      Tell me one thing that is harder to do on Linux than on Windows nowadays. Something coming from OS itself, not from hostile vendor the community managed to patch support for.

            That is literally impossible to say, as you said, “hostile vendors” and all. I’ve had a chance to think about it, and I’m not sure they’re hostile, probably just lazy. At any rate, I sense some willful blindness on your part; exactly the kind of thing I was saying holds back progress. You type some terse retort and push your keyboard away, satisfied you’ve told some stupid normie off- I’m not the one on the wrong side of the philosophical fence here, and my argument is not unique or new.

          Was the last time you used any Linux distro 30 years ago? Shit is basically plug n play nowadays…

          the children in my life were able to connect to our printer with no help on Linux. Was there supposed to be a challenge here? IME, works as simply or simpler than the same setup wizards in Windows.

            To be fair to your point, windows does seem to be biased toward HP products - I have a really nice Canon $100 laser printer that makes any HP look like dogvomit, and windows is awfully forgetful, acting like they haven’t met on the rare occasions I have to use it.
