Is it me, or it sounds like you’re trying to make excuse for this?

I used to live in an apartment on a busy street and befriend some of my neighbors. One day, we were helping some other friends of ours move in to a new home. They’re from a quieter part of the town.

They were absolutely baffled that we all just walked in and out of rooms slamming doors everytime.

What’s in our mind? Well, honestly, we just pay no mind. Where we lived, the background noise was just so loud that the sound of doors being slammed weren’t a bother.

At this day and age, it’s easy to avoid dealing with terminal entirely, even with the more advanced use case like system backup & restore.

The only basic task I can think of that requires terminal would be auto-removing obsolete packages like older kernels.

There are niche use cases that require terminal, but you probably won’t get into that anytime soon.

This, exactly. As much as I’d want to recommend my personal setup, it’s just easier to just tell people to install Linux Mint, both for myself and for them, because of the little amount of steps one would need to do in order to get a working system.

I do wish someone would come up with something similar but with KDE, because of how similar they are to Windows UI, especially Windows 7. Maybe that’s just me.

Ending the year with a rockstar racoon, I see.

That’s a foreshadowing!

Yeah, I honestly think that, as fun as they are, having too many those tinkering and hacking with Linux videos are doing more harm than good for this cause.

If you’re trying to appeal to the common folks, you’d need to break that barrier somehow, and it’s probably easier to chisel it down bit-by-bit .

I uninstalled Arch because I got work to do. What does that make me?

From what I know, the biggest blocker for the switch is that they’re afraid they can’t do all the stuff they’re used to. While there are valid cases, it’s mostly FUD.

I think you can start by introducing popular FOSS tools that are available in Windows. With LibreOffice amping up on compatibility with MS Office, now would be good time to tell people they can try it out on Windows

If you use domain-specific tools like Krita, Darktable, Kdenlive, VSCode, Android Studio, KiCAD, or whatever, you can also go thru those. They don’t have to be FOSS as long as they’re available on Linux (e.g. Steam, Postman, Spotify, etc).

You’re looking for a replacement for your Pixel that is also not too monopolized, and the first thing that comes to mind is Samsung?

Welfare? For billion dollar companies? That’s rich.

Don’t they have eject button on the side bar entry?

I see that you know your judo well.

You say it’s useless, but half of internet is running on that. Hint: Cloudflare

Yeah, you’re right, they’re not going anywhere as well, they’re just so niche, a lot of people would probably spend their entire lives without seeing one.

C & D are definitely on their way out tho.
