Have you heard the good news about Linux?

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It is still surprisingly far from straightforward to get it working

EDIT: I mean Android on Linux is difficult. Not Linux itself.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fair enough. I'm just fulfilling Lemmy's contractual obligation to mention Linux any time someone doesn't want to "upgrade" to Windows 11.

Linus pays me $100 a month for spamming Linux. You also get payed, right?

"Hey instead of complaining about a few minor annoyances on Windows, why not just switch to Linux?"

Like I have many uses for Linux and appreciate it, but the amount of suggestions that I see telling someone that Linux is the fix is way too many

The point here is that MS made a pretty killer feature that was easy to set up, and it failed because nobody used it.

In the end you are still at the mercy of their shareholders and their core mission of EEE over end-user empowerment. Every thing they build is designed with lock-in and obfuscation to protect themselves.

I fear becoming that guy, can you call me out if I do? Cheers.
