People talk about Linux as if it's easy to use for most people. Also the reason I never switch to Linux is cause of the annoying Linux people who won't shut up about Linux

It IS easy to use for most people

There really isn't much complications in the way of installing and using linux, I think it's even fair to say that at this point it's easier than windows.

The reason annoying people like me exist is because people like me see people like you paying money for shit and then complain about the smell. You don't need to smell shit, you know.

It feels like screaming into the void on Lemmy, but until there is official support for peripherals I use every single day (looking at you stream deck and GoXLR) I will likely never switch to Linux as my only OS. Dual boot on different drives on the other hand....

I’ve spent much of the day trying to get Yunohost/Debian running on my old 2011 MacBook.

It’s much quicker and easier to install the latest macOS on it, and that ain’t right.
