    Some of my fav quotes:

    “Ads in an operating system that you’ve paid for from a company that owns ridiculous amounts of money is so offensive.”

    “data, it’s like the new gold to people”

    “I got the confidence to really jump into Linux after the Steam Deck.”

    [regarding the terminal] “You just see text going across the screen, they’re working at lightning speeds.”

    “I’m kissing convenience goodbye, I just want control.”

      “I’m kissing convenience goodbye, I just want control."

      He is in for a surprise when he realizes GNU/Linux is much more convenient than Winblows.

          I don’t think it’s really much different. What makes windows feel more convenient is that everyone generally learns how to use it first. I think if you took a person that is not familiar with either, they would be able to figure out both OS at around the same time.

            it really just depends on what hardware you are on. For example my Dell pribter was plug and play on windows . It took me 6 hours to get it to work on Linux.

              This. In my recent experience on one laptop. Arch (Endevour OS btw) installed fine.

              But LMDE would not boot. I got a system disk missing error every time after install. So much playing with EUFI settings in BIOS, boot back to live disl, multiple re installs, GRUB repair, remake the ISO (ISO was fine, installed on another PC with no issues). Gave up. Just could not boot to the OS.

              Install normal mint. No issues.

              And past the install? Bluetooth dongle works fine on arch, but so many issues on mint.

              WiFi dongle A works on arch, but not mint. WiFI dongle B dosenr work on arch but does work on mint. Took me a while to work thst one out.

              Headphpnes have some weird echo back to me when mic is on. Use pipewire config from archwiki. Worked, but reduced qualoty. Tried a few other configs. Didn’t work. Must have broke something coz now the original config dosnt work. So will just deal with echo.

              0 of these issues on windows. And 0 likely your regular user can easily swap to Linux.

              Will stay on arch tho. Fuck spez windows.
