Can you not make a comment without misconstruing my arguments? Like half of your points are arguing against things I never said.
I never at any point said people can't/shouldn't be allowed to learn Linux.
I never at any point said Gnome should be the only DE, and I've no idea how you could even make that logic leap.
I never said I needed GUIs to do shit, in fact I said I used the terminal and didn't have problems with it.
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.
And how Linux works isn't one of them.
Or maybe Linux could afford to be more intuitive and user friendly, no idea why you insist in this false dichotomy.
That is my point, yes.
And yet it doesn't even make up a tenth of the market, I wonder if there is any relation.
Another lie, huh? I never at any point said Linux sucks, I just said that I had bad experiences with it. But I suppose when you tie so much of your ego to an OS you can't tell the difference.
I never even interacted with any Linux community before today. My comment on this community was from what I observed how MULTIPLE people were treated. But go off, maybe add pedophilia and puppy killing to my projected crimes to further justify how you're treating me.
Literally where (in this thread, I was definitely showing animosity to some guy in another thread) have I shown animosity?
You don't even know why I stopped using Linux or how I behaved back when I used it. You're literally projection your own version of me so you can attack me for daring to not have a less than perfect experience with your favorite OS.
And here comes you being rude, assuming shit about me, dismissing my experience and misconstruing my arguments. But thanks for proving my point, I guess.
If all of them come from the same community and nowhere else, I'd rather believe the community is the problem, but thanks for the suggestion.
And yet most people don't.
WOW REALLY??? IT'S ALMOST AS IF THAT WAS MY POINT, NO WAY!!!
Right, you think it should be less like linux and more like windows, but you still want windowslinux available, I get it.
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.
You're arguing for another guy, you take up his arguments too. Besides, "then quit complaining."
Trying new things? MADNESS!
I've been running Fedora for 4y straight now..
If you want to run linux, yeah it kinda is.
Well give them Microsoft's budget then.
No no, that was my point, you said "umm akshully, Mint touched my nono square." FOH dude.
