This is corporate propaganda. /s
In all seriousness though it'd be really nice if people stopped sharing memes making Linux look hard. Its literally the only readily available easy to use option that doesn't spy on you, the people need to not be scared of it.
This is very true. There are even options where you don’t have to touch the command line, and just work no problem.
That said, I love tinkering on my Linux machine. It elevates it from a tool to a hobby for me, which I love. It adds a spark to my life! But hey, not everyone is like me, and that’s just fine (may be for the best!).
If that's any consolation, if it tried to spy it would probably fail.
Not sarcasm
Using Linux since 1999, and add my primary personal and work computer for 6 years non stop. Maybe things are awesome but we know new stuff will take half a decade to get it right lol
2025 year of the ~~desktop~~ game console /s
It's accessible for new users, easy for old users, but ironically the hardest if you know only just enough to be dangerous.
Sincerely, Someone who broke their desktop gui by tinkering, twice.
100% true there.
As a 20 year user I can't imagine using something else as easily. My partner, who's been using it for less than a month, also has a great time with it.
Back when I was still learning though I broke it quite a few times mucking about where I didn't belong and copy-pasting commands I didn't understand into the terminal.
Remember kids, if you don't understand what you're reading, you can break things by following instructions.
Agreed so much. It isn't accurate and it isn't funny either.
Maybe I just can't take a joke though...
