if linux is so good why dont you do a kickstarter to get keita takahashi help you build the expansive onboarding tutorial that comes with a works-out-of-the-box $300 computer good for the shit normal people do like youtube and facebook and teaches you in a non threatening way how to get started touching the guts, if you want

as a nurse who knows how to right click I am usually the most computer-savvy person in my workplace

so when I see "everyone will switch to linux" discourse I think the people writing it don't even understand what a mess of apparently randomly chosen letters they descend into as they tell me every stupid baby knows that the distro is changing from Xorg to Wayland so too bad for your NVidia but once somebody (maybe even you! 😊) writes firmware for it you really just have to... touch the... cat... so we can... grep the tar... and man the... sudo rm -R /*

all i can say is there better be a zero percent overlap between people who talk on here about web accessibility, and people who think that the general public needs to just git gud at shell commands

But I fundamentally view a computer as an appliance. If it's not doing the thing I want the software to do, it's fundamentally failed. The computer's purpose for existing is to do what I want it to do. And I certainly don't want to spend 5, 10, 20 hours to get sound or wifi or specific software to work, same way I wouldn't tolerate needing to take that much time to set up a new car or washing machine.

Anyways, I'm happy I can afford Macs.
