Yeah. Surely we can believe the anti-China stuff! Our own government wouldn’t lie to us! /s

So just blatant Sinophobia.

Haha. Yeah man, you’re not hyper focused on total cost of ownership. They know their audience!

The people who can reason that out probably aren’t very religious.

And? Most of the web servers people interact with run on Linux, too. But in both examples, they are not interacting with the Linux UI whatsoever, which is the thing we are discussing.

Right. Because they’re interacting with an overlay the entire time, so they don’t have to deal with a shitty UI or manually performing any tasks.

So that’s an irrelevant example.

Then they’re better off with a Chromebook or tablet. The only reason to be on a pc instead is to access all of the additional functions that would be a nightmare for them to figure out on Linux.

Yup. If the theme is causing a mental hang up for laymen, then it’s an issue whether you agree with it or not.

But I suspect it’s more than that, and Linux stans are playing down the shitty UI.

Do some testing. Put a non-technical Windows or Mac user on Linux for a week. Don’t explain anything to them, so they can figure it out on their own. Let me know how it goes.

They are supposed to, for sure.

It won’t happen until the Windows UI becomes more troublesome than the Linux UI. We still have a ways to go.

I’ve yet to see a Linux version that can prevent the boot partition from clogging up with old kernel files. Grandma ain’t cleaning that shit up.

This is intentional. There’s a contingent of Lemmy power users who are actively sabotaging a push to make it more accessible. Every time this comes up, they openly admit their intentions are to keep it niche, and continue gatekeeping.

Jeep owners are the perfect target for this. Not exactly the kind of people doing a lot of research before purchasing a vehicle. Or else they wouldn’t buy a jeep.

Y’all really do believe a Democrat quietly committing a crime is superior to a Republican loudly committing a crime. Wild.
