Linux is ♥️

Macs aren't the best hardware platform for Linux compared to a PC.
Most of my family have been using Linux for well over a decade without any major problems. I have been a Linux user for over 20 years.

@itsfoss @mkwadee sure, but most people want pretty much none of those things as much as they want to get their stuff done.

You forgot "Kernel panic! Unhandled exception in interrupt!" (which has been happening to me a lot for the last week or so.)

@itsfoss true. It especially breaks when you starts dreaming about making it "beautiful".

I use arch, it works as I want, but as I install a DE, it done for. Maybe I become too ambitious at times with it.

Since than I know.

Let's not forget that old tradition, "something's wrong Saturday"

@itsfoss And people actually enjoy using the terminal once they are used to it.

@strght @itsfoss I've just started to use it and there's things I like and things I don't.

I'm used to doing some PC support tasks. I can handle BIOS tasks and firmware updates, etc. Mint wasn't *easy* to install on my machine but I got there. I love the interface and I love the lack of ads.

But my mouse is too slow. This is a world of pain to fix.

@itsfoss Been running linux for all of my adult life, never once had an install corruption that wasn't directly my fault, one of many reasons to use stable release OSs like Debian.

And if we continue to capitulate to those people Linux will turn into MacOS or Windows.

If you keep the stock rom on and android phone its easy to use, if you flash an aftermarket one you may encounter issues.

The same is true for keeping OEM windows on your device vs using linux.

If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.

@itsfoss I love Linux because In my childhood I loved Space Quest with a command interface :blobaww:

[feike@toot.community]

@itsfoss well windows updates at the worst moments, so, it's a balanced game

[feike@toot.community]

@fallbackerik @itsfoss like people who use manual shifting because they are used to it?
