Honestly, I agree with @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net

Ok fair enough, but I wouldn’t have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.

I’m not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.

These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It’s also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.

Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic “use Linux”.

    ppl almost seem proud to make ignorance a core part of their identity, like its an unalterable genetic trait or something.

    Imagine a kid just being like: “nope, I could learn how to pee in the toilet, but I refuse to learn. I’m a kitchen-counter pisser and proud of it. Deal with it.”

    That’s almost the level of proudly ignorant stubborness from windows users.

      To me, this doesn’t seem to be ignorance so much as just figuring you’re done with learning. Be a great way to explain most of older people, too.
