  • Can’t remember any acts of kindness towards me. Only shit I do myself on a daily basis unto others, like oh I dunno, signal my turns, hold doors for people, say hello to someone who looks like they might need some human interaction. Stuff that should be commonplace, but people live in their asshat bubbles thinking about their own asshat lives instead of being just a little bit decent toward the rest of us asshats.

    Goddammit. It’s not hard.










  • The fact that you have to ask is a major point against the Linux desktop.

    I softly disagree with this statement. I was just following what they said in their comment, and what I was really fishing for was use case and circumstances, down the line in the conversation. 🙂

    Probably not surprisingly, it came down to gaming and kernel-level anti-cheat software.

    But your experience matters, of course. A lot of efficient and lean Linux distros can’t really afford to do a lot of handholding in order to be so lean. And reading documentation and following along with instructions definitely isn’t for everyone. But really that’s all I did to install my distro of choice. I just read the installation guide on the Wonderful Wiki™️ and I came out flying.

    Linux really has matured a lot in the recent decade though, even more in the last couple of years. So maybe you’d find something you like if you gave it another go now.

    I’m happily gaming and working and just regular-old computing on my PC with Linux. It can be done. I feel like maybe you had bad luck with the timing in combination with what you wanted to accomplish or achieve with your PC, or something. I dunno.

    Anyway, long reply is long. Take care!

    I dunno. I consider myself to be an “average person” lmao. I just happen to be able to read text and follow instructions. Anybody being able to bake simple cookies or boil pasta should be able to install and configure Arch Linux.

    But if you’re really into the weeb bit, like your kid, that’s great lol.
