I've tried installing Linux on two computers four times last month, but I haven't been able to for one reason or another. I've already spent an hour debugging simply because I cancelled the installation once at the wrong time (ie. any time after hitting start) and had to go in there and rename shit (??????). If the community really wants us to switch, it needs to iron out all this garbage at the front door. I can only imagine the frustration of getting everything else up and running. Fuck these headaches. I've had a better UX installing Windows, which I did about 10 times last year without a hitch.
it sounds like you better stick to windows. installing something like Ubuntu or KDE Neon is a no-brainer usually, i never had issues installing the os before (those come later admittedly)
I've successfully installed and used Ubuntu for well over a year before. You don't need to be condescending. But if it keeps me from encountering people like you, I just might.
not sure which one of us is more entitled, the "community" doesn't owe you anything
Ah yes, the "you're not owned anything" condescending comment when I'm talking about the overall state of Linux being unfriendly to newcomers and being unproductive to its goals. You know, the very definition of stupid. Seriously, the snotty replies alone make one rather pay up MS and get my work done in peace than deal with snotty assholes.
I don't ever want to hear you say anything about Linux struggling with user adoption because I'll be linking you right back to this thread and holding you up as an example as to why that may be.
