Honestly, I agree with @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net

Ok fair enough, but I wouldn't have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.

I'm not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.

These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It's also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.

Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic "use Linux".

The key to widespread adoption of Linux is for state actors to ban Windows and MacOS as Western spyware. Without Windows and MacOS, people will have to learn Linux by necessity. It doesn't matter if Linux is not user-friendly if it's the only OS in town. And it also doesn't matter if people have bootleg versions of Windows at home because the majority of PC being sold are used within enterprise and educational settings.
