    Yeah - he could have fixed it. He had a whole team of people who probably already knew how to do it and might have even known himself.

    But the video isn’t supposed to be someone who knows how to navigate problem-solving on Linuz setting up Linux. It’s supposed to be someone trying Linux, and it’s a good representation of the experience.

    Indo not EVER recommended random people to try Linux, because as much as Windows and MacOS suck, they generally work out of the box with minimalist user intervention. You buy a laptop with Windows it’s generally gonna turn on and run the software you want it to run.

    Linux does not have that experience for the average user. And the very fact that there’s a million forks doesn’t make it better. Especially when the system-crashing bug is unique to version 1.9763x version of the weird fork you’re using that was only the live version for 17 minutes 8 months ago and only pops up when using version 4.63x of whatever software you’re using.

    When Windows has a bug that is occurs when using Excel it impacts millions of people and is discovered within minutes.
