And for me when I use windows it has not had an issue with anything I’ve wanted to do. (Shrug)
I’ve tried Arch and Mint, and both took constant tinkering just to use the internet and getting basic apps like Steam and Acrobat installed.
I had to fucking download and install a set of libraries through the command line and follow a 20 step tutorial to make it so I can open a fucking .exe file.
Shrugging and saying “it just works” instead of wanting the system to be accessable to non autists is what will forever keep Linux in the fringe.
windows… has not had an issue with anything I’ve wanted to do.
Then you should use Windows. It sounds like it works for you.
I offered up a counter-anecdote to your anecdote. I did not mean to invalidate your experience.
That said, I’m triggered by statements like, “Linux isn’t ready,” because they aren’t conducive to productive conversation. A better way to think of it is, “Linux/Windows/<Insert OS here> isn’t for me.” Linux doesn’t have to be for everybody. Likewise for Windows or any other OS. I think it’s great that we have so many choices.
