If they are, it’s just for milking their intelligence and giving that info to Russia. Don’t trust the CCP.

I was one of those pro Elon before he said something about the cave divers were pedos. I’m like whoa. That’s a stupid thing to say. Ever since then it was downhill.

I do the opposite. I turn on my VPN at home. I share Netflix with my bro in law and don’t want to get caught being in different places. On my Samsung Fold 5, I can run a routine to connect to VPN when I get home.

Get this on a t-shirt.

You need more than 2.9 hours a sleep a day.

Just use samba.

It doesn’t need it. All NAS systems have samba on by default.

The image here is My First Fone. For Android it has terrible notifications. I’m constantly missing messages and calls from my kid.

It’s pretty easy. Just right mouse click the network and Map Network Drive. Follow prompts. Success

The Japanese says she stuck it into her anus…

The Japanese government and culture hates foreigner. Unless you or your parents have Japanese citizenship, you’re going to have a hard time.

This is a timeline I would vote for.

I argue that a grandma has less needs than someone younger. My grandma uses a 10 year old LG phone that has replaceable batteries. Never complains. Makes perfect phone calls.

Ask a teen if he enjoys Fortnite or PUBG with their friends and they will say they don’t know. Because their parents force Linux on them.

But why do I need to do a search? Why isn’t it already installed and ready to go? Why must I find drivers for a hardware when I can just plug it into a Windows computer and 99% of the time it starts working?

This meme advertise that Linux is in equal footing with Windows. Yes, Linux has better privacy. But you can’t deny the usability of Windows. Until Linux has the same feature set prebuilt in, Linux is going to never be ready.

I guess when I’m expecting to have at least air conditioning instead of having my pick from thousands of different air conditioning systems from GitHub hoping it hasn’t been abandonware.

If I’m picking a specific system, I expect the engine to start when I turn the key, instead of a secret jiggle for it to work correctly.

Regular, non tinkerers people, normies have different needs, none of which Linux has a advantage on.

Speed, privacy, old hardware support, benefits from community modifications (gaming performance kernels etc).

Speed is relative to the task. On my window’s machine, I’m running a 7 year old gaming computer and never thought that my computer is super slow. Also, after installing Mint on it, the speed is barely noticeable at best.

Old hardware support? Shoot, Mint could barely get new hardware working properly. I had trouble with both my nvidia card and my logitech steering wheel working correctly. I eventually got the Nvidia card working using chatgpt. It took me a few days, but the steering wheel finally started working after reinstalling Windows.

Also, as far as gaming is concerned. You performance might see a few fps faster on Linux on some games, but if you enjoy games like Rocket League or Fortnite or many multiplayer games, it flat out doesn’t work.

Can KDE snap to 3 screens evenly? Or4? Or 1/4, 1/2, 1/4? Because Win11 does it out of the box.

Yes

Good, I can check it out. Mint and PopOS and Ubuntu does not have this feature.

I started with the GUI flatpak interface first and after those apps didn’t work, I went to google/forums. At the end of the day, I still didn’t accomplish a simple task Win11 has out of the box.

I still dont understand what you were trying to achieve that you couldn’t have done, at worst, in Synaptic package manager (a GUI program).

I’m trying to snap my windows to different ratios or tile out of the box. Mint, PopOS and Ubuntu does not have these features and I was trying to install it first from Flatpak and then in apt-get. Both failed.

You saying I’m spreading misinformation implies you don’t acknowledge my frustrations and grievances.

I don’t mean to say you’re doing it intentionally, just that when you state Linux can’t do these things it’s not exactly correct.

What is inaccurate? That I had a hard time trying to install a very basic feature on Mint and failed? Seems pretty straight forward.

Don’t get me started on installing Tailscale. While I was ultimately successful doing this in terminal, I would not want my mother in law trying to figure it out.

I can’t find a single reason why I would need to. What am I missing?

The mass majority of normies don’t need to run PowerShell or debloat. A even bigger mass of people have no clue what telemetry is to even disable it. I think before we both disagree with each other, we should agree with one thing. Regular, non tinkerers people, normies have different needs, none of which Linux has a advantage on.

Can KDE snap to 3 screens evenly? Or4? Or 1/4, 1/2, 1/4? Because Win11 does it out of the box.

KDE Snapping left and right is nice. Windows 7 has this feature. Maybe even Win98.

I started with the GUI flatpak interface first and after those apps didn’t work, I went to google/forums. At the end of the day, I still didn’t accomplish a simple task Win11 has out of the box.

You saying I’m spreading misinformation implies you don’t acknowledge my frustrations and grievances. This is perfectly fine if we all acknowledge that Linux is not made for regular people and memes like this is actually harmful to your community. If someone has a misconception that Linux is now equal in feature sets and usability, this user is going to not try again for another 15 years.

As a normie myself, let me translate this to you tech literate nerds.

I think he is basically saying there is a macro software that inputs his pin on his mouse so he doesn’t have to constantly input his password.
