To put a fiber point, in not arguing that s. I should be used in court. That’s just a bad idea. I’m saying that B. S has been used as fact , look at the way history is taught in most countries. Very biased towards their own ruling class, usually involves living lies of some sort

It happens all the time though. Made up and false facts being accepted as truth with no veracity.

So hard disagree.

And now you’re lying. Man. You really are going to tell me that’s what I said?

You’re being silly … that’s what I’m Saying. You can have an opinion all you want, you can stand by it, and you can defend it, but none of that makes you any less incorrect or insufferable. .good day.

Don’t sit there being obtuse. One of the benefits of foss is that actual users help test the software and bring feedback to make it better

You just want to be thought of as special

Developers of software are a dime a dozen and becoming an outdated profession. Keep the smugness out of this otherwise. Good day

Honestly kid. I’m done with this. You know the answer to that. I’m done with this. You’re all just too exhausting.

And again that is a Linux issue. Because no one wants to be thought of as insufferable as it appears Linux contributes are.

If one doesn’t want valid critique, one should take their software private and leave everyone alone.

Otherwise anyone can make all the critiques they want. Don’t like it? Don’t do things in public. Make the software privately and alone

" the day I start caring about what non-contributers think …"

Be sure not to wear your actual gate keeping opinion on Your sleeve if you want to deny them .

And here I am at 58 years old still having to fix millennial and zoomers issues.

Doesn’t mean all millennials or zoomers are technically illiterate. Means that they had to focus on other things to live in their lives.

Want people to learn how to research and grow? Meet them where they are on their journeys.

Not pretending anything. Saying they’re both acting silly. Eos.

Have a nice day

we should all be extremely well versed in how our government works, how to make meals , how to fix our clothes, how to grow our own food, and how to spot a person who’s scamming us, as well be able to do all of the other specialized things humans need ti stay alive

guarantee neither of us knows everything on that list as well as we should, I a double damn guarantee those re all far more important than a PC .

not that hat you do, or your interest aren’t important to you, and I am not making light of then, but I think you get where I’m heading

took over 55 years for me to stop assuming we all have the same 24 hours we don’t , so we prioritize learning different things to survive

They can and should. But they don’t. They really only cater to the techie, because that’s who uses it

Then they got pissed when their “marketing” efforts fall shorts.

Stop acting like non Linux users are dumb. They aren’t. they’ve used the time others spent learning. Techie things learning other thingS. Their priorities were different. Or maybe their poor and don’t care about that as they need a PC but have to work 80 hours to feed their family.

But no. Instead of making life better through foss for those who need it, you’re making Linux some unattainable nerd toy.

We can tell ourselves we don’t care. But we do. Or the thread wouldn’t be here

Or, maybe yo will understand when you grow up that people are good at different things.

Garuntee there’s some pretty easy things for me to do that you would get left behind trying to do, and not just on PC

Same for you. You know some things you’d blow me away doing.

Just because you don’t know what I know , and vice versa, doesn’t mean people are dumb.

Means they’ve learned different things.

You’re both being silly. Ones a gatekeeper, ones a name caller

Want to know what’s wrong with Linux? The community.

Are seriously that obtuse.? Why would Anyone think any better of your conversation when that is the level of discourse you bring?

"Wut? " What a classic symptom of the dumbing down of society, but you go ahead and keep feeling superior

“Wut”. Way to make yourself look less than literate.

In any case I’m done with this. Have a good day

So. We just encourage ignorance and security threats so we… can… be … better than them? I don’t think that’s the healthiest outlook …

Super glad you understand my point. it honestly is the one thing holding us back I believe

Yeah I love linux, but it’s user experience , while light years ahead of what I used in the late nineties and early aughts, is still clunky compared to others.

That being said, honestly most of linux’s issues are GUI related, when it comes to going mainstream. The capabilities and efficiency are far ahead of windows and mac os but most users don’t care.

Directions, examples and mundane work should all be seamless for mainstream consumers.

A good rule of thumb is, " if a user has to look for it to fix it, or open a terminal window to install software, then it won’t be accepted fully.

Mainstream users don’t want to type commands in a prompt. Why does everyone think windows blew DOS out of the water in sales? It wasn’t because DOS wasn’t working. It was, hell early windows ( I started on 3.11 so that’s my limit of knowledge ) still used DOS.

So bottom line. Start putting the non tech consumer first or we’ll forever be stuck in this “almost mainstream” category forever.

I watched my father try to kill my mother and was on the streets at 16. Nice try

I don’t say that in a mean way. I will not pretend to know your story. I can’t. Especially those who are poc( I don’t know yours and am not trying to be personal so I’m not asking )

What I’m saying is I can’t understand a poc’s full experience. I’ll never have to tell my kid to watch out for cops because of his skin color.

I can, however, understand how others sink into the anger despair and rage. I know what it’s like to wake in a jail cell, I know what hardship really is.

I also know that it is never overcome through cruelty. In fact that puts everyone, including the perpetrator, in a worse place.

So again. We don’t have to be this shitty to each other.

Because everyone wants to be popular. Most people don’t have the tools to be popular through kindness so they simply act like the other orcs instead.

Dude I grew up dirt poor on govt cheese in the 70s and 8os. Homeless at times, hunted and fished more for food than bought it

Sheltered? Nah.

Saddened… Dismayed? Yes

Let me show you why it takes two…

Have a good evening
