  • Thank you. The downvotes don’t bother me, but the attitude of some of these linux fans does. Skills issues my ass. I’m fairly IT literate. I can find my way around basic unix stuff for work, and don’t care if i have to spend some of the time i get paid for on reading man pages. But at home, my computer just needs to work. Linux is not ready for that, and some of these fanboys just put people off.


  • Did I say I want to keep using windows? I don’t. I want to get off W10 before that becomes an unsupported security risk, and won’t go to W11. All I said, or meant to say, is that I don’t feel comfortable yet to move to Linux, and posts like this don’t make me more confident that Linux is trouble free. It’s not just that I don’t want to spend hours fixing problems, it’s also for the sanity of my family who just need a working computer

    Things like this are why I still haven’t switched to Linux. Had a play with Mint on a USB stick and liked it, but I just worry that when I start to use it for real, I am going to spend far too much time searching for solutions to weird problems and going down rabbit holes.
