To half the users in this thread, normal people use computers as a means to an end.

“If you’re not prepared to get your hands dirty this OS is not for you” you’ve already lost me, this is unhinged behaviour. You have one life and you choose to spend it fixing your computer so it will do the same things except slightly differently.

But I know this is an unpopular opinion for Linux users.

And not just “a beach on the ocean”, but literally just the open ocean.

But immediately dismissing people’s problems is the Linux way. Linux is perfect, I had no issues with it, so if you have any issues you’re simply wrong!

The cursor used to appear pixelated at high magnifications until they switched to it a vector to fix it, so definitely intentional

Asks the fucking developer of lemmy if they’re lost. fucking lmao

I’ve heard that newer generations are becoming less tech literate on average than previous generations. They don’t try to fix their device, they just expect it to work. When it doesn’t, they don’t have the troubleshooting skills to fix it. They never had the opportunity to learn them.

That’s obvious to you to do, yes. You have experience with Linux.

I watched a video of a Linux noob trying it for the first time. They chose Mint, and a significant amount of problems arose from the fact that mint is still on an old kernel version, and there was little to no indication from the OS or from cursory googling that updating it would fix the issue or even that you should do that.
