Hello fellow lemming! :D
Atm if you use Linux you either are computer-literate yourself or have someone in your circle (even if it is an online friend) who is and who can help and if we ever got to the point where a random normie suddenly has Linux on their machine I’d assume someone at the computer store will be able to fix it
Would suck if I paid ~200$ for an official Win 11 Pro licence just to have Microsoft fuck up my system to the point where I have to reinstall everything
I just copy pasted the article into the post so people can read it without having to consent
My bad I’ve copy pasted the article directly into the post.
As far as I know a lot of Windows users are unhappy with Windows itself but can’t/won’t make the switch for various reasons. I don’t mean them, they are usually very nice.
I mean those people who judge you for not using Windows because “Linux is crap because of drivers and updates” (as if those were uncomplicated/unproblematic on Windows) and then blame every tiny inconvenience on Linux. One dude I used to play games with topped it when they blamed my Linux distro for him experiencing lags claiming Linux was “messing with the game server” (before that they used to say “switch back to Windows” every time I encountered lags or similar).
I REALLY want to see normies “manually correct” their machines after bragging with Windows supremacy for so long

OK, for real for one sec the likelihood of this being your average chinese company who just translated this into English and has no idea of what “white power” means is 99% so my sharp reaction is meant to point out my opposition towards white supremacists and not towards the product / brand / seller.

Yep this is on me, I should have provided more context
I mean, I was saying it could be a mishap from someone who doesn’t know / think of these two words ambiguous meanings - and I think this is what happened here. I have made the reaction in the meme so dramatic to underline that I strongly oppose the white supremacy movement and not that I oppose the product / seller / brand.
Yeah it even ships with a cool flag:
it’s red and there is a funny looking black x with hooks on the end in a white circle in the middle of the flag

I love how you changed the panels so the Nazi is an incel
If one was to be unreasonable: Where do Titoists go? (Asking for a yugoslav friend, hehe)
Ahh got it thx
Someone who gives up without even googling will def have that problem. But I for myself see the intervals in which my machine breaks increase a lot (and it’s not only because of more experience) and especially immutables could decrease the risk to break Linux to a point where it is close to zero (with the nice side effect that it is easier to maintain for both the pc admin and the distro manufacturer).
Also: My experience (and that may differ a lot from the normie perspective) is that as soon as you are able to check forums for help with software at least the beginner friendly/popular distros are less painful to fix when your Windows pc got screwed. And the overall tone in Linux forums has softened a lot compared to when I first briefly tried a distro in 2016 (I returned in 2020 during the pandemic because I had the time and proton had been announced).
