I disagree. If you’re starting from nothing, and you buy a pre-installed, linux is easier by far. The general populace does not install windows themselves either so let’s not compare that aspect.

Astonishing it’s not satire

You’re right that most people don’t use the RE. That was a bad example I guess.

The point of my question is this though: as pointed out in the original post, maintaining windows is no easy lift. To the point that your average user knows and hates the constant windows update process, and needs an “IT guy” in their life to help them overcome the hurdles which will arise. The idea that windows just works is a fallacy. Also same with Mac (or linux), but honestly? To a large degree linux can be that way for most users most of the time. Probably even more so than macs as long as it’s a good setup to begin with (the right distro, the software installed the user needs). Most people just need a browser. And it’s not without challenges just to keep even that running on windows. I’m aware of zero linux distros which force updates and even if you seek them out and install them, they aren’t very disruptive 99% of the time.

Shocking to see a person always defending windows and hating Linux saying this. Shocking!

Victim blaming is always a totally defensible and cool thing to do

I think he believes it will work for him. Which is the only concept that has ever mattered to him.

I mean Biden was personally killing Palestinians so let’s all make sure Trump does worse too so checkmate lIbRuL. Ps I’m morally superior because I think my self righteous social media posts matter way more than the outcome I cause with my actions. And if you disagree? Well, you love genocide! /s

The best example of fighting the good fight as far as OSes. Good on you. Linux these days is for sure way better than commercial oses in most ways. Windows is more supported and macos is more obsessively polished on the surface. Otherwise they got nothing going for them

True but have you tried windows? The registry editor is just one example of the top tier bullshit that the windows apologists will gloss over. To them it’s normal to have to open what I’m sure started as a tool Microsoft only saw themselves using just to fix basic problems that shouldn’t have occurred in the first place

Exactly! For the majority of people it is easier yet many people will fight you to the death that the opposite is true

Fuck that bitch. Was the most laughably idiotic comment she could’ve made.

People keep saying this but it’s not really true. Right wingers say it when convenient (not now, gee wonder why they’re suddenly not making the argument). The second amendment was meant to allow citizens to form militias on behalf of the government, at a time that the country did not have a military.

Not good enough. I don’t think there is anything painful enough for what he’s earned

ah yes. people who don’t think exactly like you are all monsters. I was so wrong.

I’m saying that if we had an actual democracy, 35% support from idiots doesn’t get you into office. It gets a little attention that fades and is almost forgotten a couple years later. You know, a sane world – in which we do not live.

Seems like there’s a rise of shit takes on Lemmy today.

Some day, if conscious beings have access to our history, they may mistake Idiocracy as a documentary. I’m only kind of joking

Yup. If we did, trump could’ve never had a chance at being president

I think he would run and “serve” no matter what he needs to do. Taking naps and putting brown-nosers fully to work doing his bidding 90% of the day is a small price to pay for a narcissist obsessed with being talked about

I think it will take his death or Republicans growing an ounce of spine to remove him

I saw a woman in a very liberal area in the US wearing a shirt that read “Proud Conservative!”

That alone made he seem deranged to me. It would be weird even if I didn’t get the distinct impression she wanted people to say something or at least feel discomfort with her advertising that she fully supports fascist dictatorship. What a fucking time to wear that shirt …
