Rage and frustration trying to do the most basic things like setting an IP address because Windows is traditionally GUI focused, whereas Linux has traditionally been CLI focused.

Pretty much the same thing I experienced when trying out Linux for the first time after years of using Windows GUIs from 3.11 - XP.

If you get past the nerd rage of "it's not exactly how i'm used to doing things" you find a lot of convenient functionality.

After using both concurrently for over a decade now I really wish MS or the FOSS community would just both pull their heads out of their asses and concede the other has good ideas and make their respective OSs better.

The security and patching method for linux is better, if the maintainers aren't retarded, and much easier to setup and maintain a system once you're used to it. On the other hand trying to get any family member or friend to use it is just a waste of time as anything more complex than setting an IP requires digging through config files and editing by hand.

You are trying to say that it sounds believable to you that someone could possibly, avoid the most popular operating system in the entire world simply because Macs at school and Linux at home.

Because they have no friends, don't hang out with friends, don't deal with family members, never seen a computer at a electronics store in their entire life. gtfo of here.
>>
>>55314390
he didn't say he had no idea what it is, he just never used it - probably meaning he never used it for a lenghtier period of time or on his own machines. he probably has seen it at a friends house and played sims or whatever on it, but he didn't see much of the OS. sounds perfectly plausible to me.

Also congrats on not using Wangblows for you whole time!

Those are not ads. Those are examples of how to use the start menu tiles. You do not have to use them if you don't want to.
