I never at any point said people can’t/shouldn’t be allowed to learn Linux.

Right, you think it should be less like linux and more like windows, but you still want windowslinux available, I get it.

how you could even make that logic leap.

Because windows has their fancy GUI because

A) Forcing people to use the same DE is “easier” and

B) Billions of corporate dollars.

The only way linux could be the same, is if there was one standardized distro with one DE, which is bad.

I never said I needed GUIs to do shit, in fact I said I used the terminal and didn’t have problems with it.

You’re arguing for another guy, you take up his arguments too. Besides, “then quit complaining.”

If by “it’s me” you mean that I consider swapping my distro every month to be deranged behaviour while my friends don’t, then yeah, guilty as charged.

Trying new things? MADNESS!

I’ve been running Fedora for 4y straight now…

And how Linux works isn’t one of them.

If you want to run linux, yeah it kinda is.

Or maybe Linux could afford

Well give them Microsoft’s budget then.

You’re (or whoever ykwim) just not willing to do the work to switch to “new thing,” and that’s fine, it’s not for you (of course Microsoft will hide the control panel you’re used to and make you learn a new gui way to change some setting that they keep changing back every update, for instance, but at least it’s incremental I suppose.) But not everything has to be for everyone, all is good! But it isn’t because “linux hard” nor “cli bad” nor “they are too fucking dumb to learn a few commands,” it’s because they don’t want to, people want what is familiar and many think they’re done learning the second school ends.

No no, that was my point, you said “umm akshully, Mint touched my nono square.” FOH dude.
