If people didn’t come out of the woodwork to tell people welding was so simple that their 5 year could do it then maybe they’d be less turned off by the time and effort it takes to learn it.

Specifically? I don’t know. It would likely help if the conversation around new user distros was a bit less of an argument or if the number of suggested distros was a bit less. It would help with the decision paralysis aspect of it at least. I see enough threads of experienced users troubleshooting more than I really want to deal with, I stopped maintaining my modded skyrim installation because I was fixing when I could be playing and I don’t like the idea of my whole computer being like that because I chose the wrong hardware (I have nvidia)
I know its one of the strengths of Linux, but I can’t help but laugh that the response to “you can’t agree on one, how can I?” is for several people to suggest several distros.
The thing is, I don’t care to distrohop and experiment with this or that. I just want to use my computer. Until I see a distro that can convince me that switching will be actually painless (not ‘long time linux user painless’, but ‘casual new user that does more than just web browse’ painless) I’ll just use windows.
I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in my circle who even knows what Linux is.
Linux users can’t even agree on what distro is actually beginner friendly, so how am I supposed to pick one with any confidence?
Yup.
I’ve never had the settings turned back on after an update, but no I don’t monitor my network traffic, if I cared that much, I’d already be on linux.
People keep saying this, but I’ve never had to redo any of the changes I’ve made.
Well, I deleted Onedrive a long time ago, so no it won’t.
They’ve never come back for me.
You found an airbnb with a toddler? Did they serve you drinks or something?
Take a picture of your screen.

His being a criminal is the most well known fact about him, I’d argue it should be mentioned as early as possible to reflect that.
Maybe but the fake as fuck katana my stepdad got from Japan looks cool as shit, you can’t beat that.
shut the fuck up, nerd.
Doesn’t english just get that from being three languages in a trench coat?
Yes, but much worse.
This was probably 25 years ago at this point but I got sent to the principal’s office along with the kid that attacked me and I didn’t even have a chance to fight back before an adult showed up to stop it. Didn’t matter, got the same “shame on you” even though I literally did nothing.
I’ve never seen a robe referred to as a dressing gown before.
