    In all seriousness though it’d be really nice if people stopped sharing memes making Linux look hard. Its literally the only readily available easy to use option that doesn’t spy on you, the people need to not be scared of it.

      It’s accessible for new users, easy for old users, but ironically the hardest if you know only just enough to be dangerous.

        100% true there.

        As a 20 year user I can’t imagine using something else as easily. My partner, who’s been using it for less than a month, also has a great time with it.

        Back when I was still learning though I broke it quite a few times mucking about where I didn’t belong and copy-pasting commands I didn’t understand into the terminal.

        Remember kids, if you don’t understand what you’re reading, you can break things by following instructions.

      If that’s any consolation, if it tried to spy it would probably fail.

      Not sarcasm

      Using Linux since 1999, and add my primary personal and work computer for 6 years non stop. Maybe things are awesome but we know new stuff will take half a decade to get it right lol
