  • You can reinstall a driver without ever touching the command line on windows.

    Can you do that with Linux? Idk maybe on some distros but the default would just be to uninstall the package from terminal.

    Pretending these are equivalent is not cool and it just drives new users away for not understanding things the community takes for granted. It takes effort to learn the terminal if even tech-savvy windows users may not even use the command line


  • Personally I believe that unless you’re able to do a slackware or gentoo installation, you’re not ready for Linux.

    Linux users need to have a higher level of technical literacy than windows users. It just can’t be avoided unless you’re okay with potentially reinstalling your os at some point. The bar has been lowered a lot, but because other companies refuse to play nice with Linux, it’ll always be there.

    If you’re okay with that tradeoff, then yeah Linux is great. But a lot of people aren’t even aware of it and it causes a lot of pain
