Honestly, yeah. I get that social interaction is awkward for some people. I myself have Asperger’s (shut the fuck up, Cartman, I see your pudgy ass back there fidna pipe up), and I’ve never found people easy to understand. I think there really needs to be an initiative to teach people, normal people, how to use this stuff, and it doesn’t start by being an asshole. It starts by giving a shit and answering questions if you know the answers, or by helping people understand what might be going wrong. Even a word or two is helpful for beginning a Google search, but you have to know what you’re looking for in order to start looking for it.

You want people to use Linux? You need to meet them where they are, not take it as an opportunity to show how smart much of a smartass you are.

Be better than that.

Oh no, not the economy!

Also your whole argument is that older people aren’t being held at gunpoint, and younger people are having to do more work to earn far less than they did.

Your argument is that we should starve the dogs to keep them obedient.

Fuck right off

Tbf what else would you want that to do? It was done

Man got tired of working for JojaMart

Imagine using digital buttons for triggers.

PopOS, Elementary, or Mint.

Do not give a new user a rolling release distro.

Bleem was also paid software. I think people are forgetting that, at the time, downloading software over the Internet wasn’t super common. Software was distributed with discs. In a box. At the store. Which sold things. For money.
