Driver issues usually only happen if the manufacturer doesn’t provide a Linux driver. Usually it is best to do some research to ensure the hardware will work before purchasing. Otherwise, the driver usually is included with the kernel so it is plug and play even for things that require manually downloading and installing on the Windows side.

Also, I’m not trying to get on any high horse. I personally think Linux is a great alternative to Windows and would love for everyone to at least try it out and see if it is right for them. It could save them tons of headaches and open the door to a new skill set, or just to breathe new life into that old laptop in your closet gathering dust. Linux has a lot of great uses that aren’t possible with Windows. Give peas a chance.

It’s a boil the frog scenario. Windows users will always cope with more and more shit thrown at them.

Hey, that’s not fair! Sometimes I write 3 lines.

That’s dumb, it should be the other way around. By default it should come with Linux, and you have the option of picking the Windows edition instead and pay that Microsoft tax.

Or we can just enjoy mastodon and Lemmy for what it is worth. You don’t want it to become mainstream, you just want things to be more federated in general.

How did email and RSS (podcasts) become so derederated but nothing else?

That is how years work.

The tree one… Hands down

But then how will we enjoy having debates if we all shut up and actually solve problems?

Honestly, I appreciate those “is this dead” issues. It’s a good way to check the pulse of project before you try to integrate it as a dependency for your own. But really it should only be done of there has been no activity for some time (like 2 years or so). A simple “it’s not dead, it’s just feature complete” or “big fixes only” would go a long way to assure the community.

I never make those issues myself, but I appreciate the others who do.

Actually nevermind you’re right. Dumb people never had an ad blocker on in the first place :D

Youre giving them too much credit. Most will just accept fate and deal with the ads.

Nah, most people are dumb, they will just continue to complain and assume there is nothing they can do.

All the power of Linux, with the annoyances of windows… A perfect world.

Oh, I get it! I get jokes!

I still don’t get it.

That shouldn’t be a gripe on Linux, it should be a gripe on game developers not supporting Linux. This is like blaming Nintendo when your Switch emulator on the PC isn’t working right.

But I don’t want to die!

Oh that’s fun. It is weird how trigger happy defederation is. Like is banning users or communities not a thing?

Very true.
