I think some folk want to pretend using Linux is hard so that they can feel more… Uh… Technical for using it.

Adore the darktable gang.
(Idiots)… Way to roast normal people. Don’t know if they will ever recover. The best bit was putting it in brackets.
You are normal people.
Web in the search, AI in the search, personal assistant in your files, things in your things that you don’t want, didn’t ask for and are struggling to extract.
Seconded. I keep trying others. I tried feedly for a while. I also tried readyou (which I still keep on my phone)… But nothing comes as close to inoreader for doing what I want.
Also, I’ve learnt how to aggregate other feeds into a single feed to pass them into it to get around the 150 limit. Not ideal, but I’m cheap.
Was it though? It was full steam ahead even in the early days when the servers were overwhelmed in what seemed like a classic case of the dishoom effect.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fine game, but I think folk got carried away.
Hypetrain game + publisher shenanigans… Pretty sure I’ve heard this one before.
You’re awesome.
This is really good. Clear and well laid out.
The only thing that might confuse some beginners is your specific choice of package manager.
Windoes!
I just meant that Linux, even in these communities is posited as something you try after windows rather than go to first.
Look, I know there’s a certain romantic notion that Linux is “the rebel choice”, but the truth is that it is the normcore backbone of the internet and the go to OS of a ton of academic ecologies.
So yeah, kinda obvious, when you think about it.
Yeah, I don’t mind. Everyone has a survivor story.
Although it is interesting isn’t it… That Linux usage is still seen in opposition to the horrors of windows. I mean, few come here talking about adopting in spite of having a great time with windows, or even without mentioning it at all.
I hope that one day it isn’t seen as an alternative to but as a thing in its own right.
And then minidiscs, briefly, and then mp3s again, and then vinyl and then tapes, and then CDs and then minidiscs and then mp3s again, and then right track and then wax cylinder and then tape and the vinyl…
It’s just a consumerist carousel. But what you like. Listen to it. Enjoy it. Fuck the format.
I would hire you as my lawyer.
Or, conversely, just switch to Linux.
Take an hour or so to have a look around the place.
Go on the internet if you have any questions.
People are smarter than you assume and if you want Linux to grow in popularity we need to stop pretending any if this is difficult.
