The problem is that you have to break your workflow to update shit, or you have to do updates multiple times to work around the things you’re doing.

Neovim. One time I accidentally opened nano and couldn’t figure out how to get out of it… Wtf is with those keybinds?

Lol at emacs not even being on your list. Suck it, emacs users 😂😂❤️

I take this entire comment as a compliment lol

Call it GINP… GINP Is Not Photoshop

Yeah man, those custom ROMs are great, but I hate how hard it is to do things like banking on them. I’m so sick of being told that it’s some shit about my phone being less secure… “You have full control over your device and can see everything it does! That is not secure!” Make it make sense lol

Then why bother with a smart phone st all? Maybe we should be encouraging manufacturers to go back to cheaper hardware and flip phones like we used to have lol

I just use pacman and yay. I avoid flatpaks as best I can, I don’t see the hype.

Yes, and we all got by fine with things the way they have mostly been. The last thing we should be advocating for is this stupid trend of removing features and calling it “user friendliness”

Give the user the ability to torch their system - it’s up to them whether they want to use things they can’t handle or not. Not up to the devs to baby-proof the software and strip abilities away from capable users.

Linux becoming mainstream would be a trap too… It will lead to the enshitification of the distros as they get more and more watered down to satisfy the average dumbass using it.

Seems like a whole lotta PEBKAC issues

Just write a shell script that changes the birthday every few minutes lol

I expect more of this kind of nonsense as more and more people come to Linux.

Wait wait, what would have happened I’d they let it continue with those “thoughts”? Would it rm -rf itself?

“How can we make slack even worse?”

The worst part is that people still buy their shit instead of laughing them out of existence.

Why is it that hard to break away from big tech? Start with Microsoft - their software gets worse every year… At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re just selling copilot slop

There are some things I still can’t get used to - the “Photosphop compatible” keybinds still aren’t 1:1 with Photoshop, and the way that several tools have been replaced by brushes just feels weird to me.

That said, it is MUCH more natural for me to use that GIMP.

Legit had somebody angry with me at work because their copilot button wasn’t showing in Outlook… Like what? If you can’t even write your own emails why are you even employed? “What would you say… You do here?”

Same, but Krita

That’s not my point. My point is, they try Zorin, they don’t like it, and now they go on about how much Linux sucks as they run back to Windows. I highly doubt many of them will bother distro-hopping. As far as must users will be concerned, they tried Linux and it sucked. They’re almost definitely not going to want to spend more time redoing their system a bunch until they find one they like, nor are they going to want to spend the time with dotfiles getting it the way they want.

If they did research on other distros before installing Zorin, they probably wouldn’t have gone with Zorin…

They’re riding a bandwagon, not setting their own path.
