Edit : i was ignorant when i posted this however i think it is still safe to say that internet in most 3rd countries is bad or expensive in comparison to their income
I live in the countryside of Minas and I can get the same 1000mbps speeds for less than 20 USD, the quality of smaller ISP has become pretty good in the last decade.
My brother is 12 and just like other people of his age he can’t use a computer properly because he is only familiar with mobile devices and dumbed-down computers...
My set-up of Linux Mint and GRUB seems to have messed up my Windows drive, as now I can’t boot from it directly anymore, but only by going through GRUB first, and I want to uninstall Linux. How would I go about figuring out the issue and fixing it?...
Plus having to basically rely on a built-in app database/store to easily install apps… Kinda stinks to me, and not being able to simply download an installer from a website and having the program, whatever program, up and running reliably within a minute, the concept seems ridiculous… I’m not sure, I could be really spoiled by Windows 10, or simply too used to it.
I’m not trying to make fun of you but that is just too funny. Download crap from website is way worse not only by security standard but for the convenience aspect, is so bad that even Windows have app stores.
Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...
I agree with you on that. I started using only Linux in january and I have no problems, but before migrating I studied Linux for about a year, learning docker, using WSL, using FOSS apps on windows, using chocolatey and winget to install/updating anything. My workflow and habits was more Linux like than windows so when I finally migrate I had no surprises.
People don't like changes, most don't even have their own principles to follow. For most piracy is just the most convenient thing, same for communities, they go to r/piracy or whatever just because is convenient. When the community moves to another place the convinience also lower so they react to the change.

My little brother loves the dualboot setup I installed for him. He says "It's like iOS"

Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

Just got DMCA takedown notices from Github for my rarbg dump forks. The originals were also taken down....
Can someone tell me the reason why these people don't want to leave Reddit?
