I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.

2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.

Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

    I get this feeling, but with iOS. Oh, I want to save a picture I found on the internet and message it. It’s incredibly unintuitive to me and I feel like a grandma, even though on any other platform it would be easy.

      Not to discredit your experience but I don’t find long pressing the image (or whatever other content), then pressing share and whatever app you want to share with hard to find or remember.

        The problem is that using the share button will often just copy the link, not the image. I haven’t used iOS in multiple years but I remember that being a problem. That being said, the last time I used iOS the files app hadn’t been added yet so idk

      iOS is pretty unintuitive. There’s lots of hidden gestures you have to memorize to get around. I missed androids back button since it always worked, whereas in iOS every app implements it differently. Is there an X in the upper right? A Close in the upper left? Do I swipe down? Swipe left? Etc. even apples built in apps are not consistent.
