@merchantHelios More people don't use Linux because the concept of complete freedom is terrifying to them.

@RegalBeagle you're dumb. people dont use linux as a regular desktop environment because they want their computer to actually work for the things normal people use their computer for.
@merchantHelios @RegalBeagle Linux on the desktop is easy, it's not Linux's fault that Big Normie is an NPC.
@yockeypuck @merchantHelios @RegalBeagle I've been full time Linux for something like 16 years at this point. It's not perfect but its light years better than windows in my humble.

@merchantHelios @Escoffier @yockeypuck Back in the day, you popped in a DVD with the OS live image, hit next a couple times, and you had Ubuntu going in an hour or so. Now you gotta create a new bootable partition in windows, flash the image to it, find the bootable partition in BIOS, install OS, then delete the partition if you wanna keep secureboot and Windows happy.

@Escoffier @merchantHelios @yockeypuck You can disable secureboot and tpm, but windows can detect that. Seem to remember seeing something about certain apps requiring these on to work properly, but that might be fake news.

Every normie I've installed Ubuntu for has loved it. Only thing is they don't know how to move it to a new PC when they upgrade machines. Hardware vendor issue, IMO

@RegalBeagle @merchantHelios @yockeypuck I've ended up trying bunches of different distros and none were bad but honestly i always end up back on Ubuntu. It just works.
