What a fucking leap. CLI does not equal complexity.

If you can write and read, you can use a CLI. Can you read and write? Great, you can learn CLI cmds.

People don’t want to use CLIs because unless you’ve been using computers before windows 95, chances are that all your life you’ve been using a GUI, and humans in general don’t like changes.

Going from Windows to any Linux distro is a big enough leap, and adding a new way to interact with your tool on top of that is too much at once for the vast majority of people.

With that said, a lot of Windows issues require you to use the CLI and mess with regedit to fix them. How is that any different than asking people to run a diagnostic command to troubleshoot their PC?

You can use a Linux distro through a GUI pretty much 99.9% of the time, just like Windows. The only difference is that on Linux, the CLI is much more powerful than the GUI, so the majority of users will use the CLI to troubleshoot.

Yeah, but regedit is a GUI. So it’s all cool and dandy.

I’d say that the nazi salute on live tv sealed the deal.

If it looks like a Nazi and squeak like a Nazi, it’s a fucking Nazi.

Who are you targeting with that message? Because what’s going on with the current US admin is straight out of the nazi playbook.

It feels like you are trying to get validation for your position.

Don’t sneeze right next to it with that kind of precision.

I use it to generate a little function in a programming language I don’t know so that I can kickstart what I need to look for.

You don’t see how terrible Windows is until you’ve switched to another OS and need to interact with it again.

The constant pop-ups, the ads everywhere, the settings hidden away.

It really feels like your PC isn’t yours.

Proxmox is a great starting point for self hosting. You don’t need advanced features to start, and you can easily create VMs and containers.

Crazy that they got 116 millions for that.

Why is it so weird? How is it any different than a pucket pussy or a vibrator?

People have sex. Lots of people, lots of sex and as much different way to have sex.

It’s a toy made specifically for sex. Nothing weird about it.

People gotta stop being weird about sex.

Steam is selling lootbox and profiting from cs skins gambling. Pretty fucking scummy.

You can’t become a billionaire ethically. Steam has a pretty big market for lootboxes and cs skins gambling is pretty widespread.

Valve isn’t a walled garden. They allow other apps to be launched through their app and devs can sell steams key on other platforms.

It is still a mega corp, but trying to attack it from the walled garden angle is pretty dumb.

Because nobody enforces the law. There are so many mega corpos that needs to be broken up, but it doesn’t happen.

I agree with you that Linux has issues, but so does Windows and MacOS.

My point is that we usually use the same OS for years, so switching to any other OS will have its quirks. You don’t really see your OS quirks anymore because you’ve learned to work around through experience.

Every OS has their issues though. You take people that have decades of experience in an OS and ask them to change to a different workflow. So yeah, they won’t be proficient the second they load Linux.

You can create a infinite number of scenarios where there are issues with Linux, but the same can be done about Windows and MacOS

I was thinking the same, where?

That’s the best no context quote of the year so far.

Oh I totally agree with that. It’s dumb that there is so many systems that use SSNs as an identification.

My identity infos have been leaked with the Desjardins leaks, so my SSN is forever known and all the critical services that uses SSNs are now more vulnerable.
