I've been using linux on and off since 1999. Which guide am I supposed to read? The one that's only 1 year out of date, but no longer applies to Ubuntu? Or a guide clearly meant for a different distro with a different mix of pre-installed packages?
Why should I waste my time on any of it when there are two other perfectly good operating systems that can do this out of the box and don't require me to faf around for hours.

It comes with basically nothing out of the box, still has no proper package management and basic things like proper keyboard layouts, ctrlcaps, installing latex, browsers, email clients, text editors etc. take hours of faffing around. And then when things invariably don't quite work, troubleshooting is really annoyingly opaque. Why would I waste my time on that?
- ScottFree 7y agoSimply restating my argument and pretending it applies to Windows equally doesn't fly with me. But thanks for re-affirming that the Linux community isn't worth dealing with.
- diffeomorphism 7y agoMisrepresenting what I said and then hurling insults. Yeah, I think this discussion is over.
