Dave & I don’t always agree, but this was a good video. Admitting Windows coddles it’s users too much, showing why Windows lost it’s hardcore audience, and what it would take to win any of us back. (Not that that’s likely, but what it would take)
Great line at the end:
…Windows tries to be a friendly town for everybody and the zoning board forgot to include a neighborhood for the weirdos who build their own furniture. We don’t want to take over your town, we don’t even want to change it. We just a workshop with sharp chisels and permission to make a mess. Give us that and we’ll stop complaining about the art you choose for City Hall.
i don’t understand the analogy, what is that actually referring to?
I take it as them saying: give those interested the tools and ability to mess with deeper systems and customisation and ability to break things. That doesnt have to change the experience for everyone else.
Honestly what Microsoft should have done was sorta what Apple did with BSD but with Linux, write a killer front end but leave the Unix bits underneath. There’s your workshop to make a mess.
I’d make an actual good stable version of Linux. Jokes aside, I haven’t seen a stable Linux except for steam os. Amazing what a full company can achieve.
SteamOS kinda has it easy. They target a single device and are able to deploy a new image and fall back if it fails. They also have a beta channel of nerds to test all the shit.
Wtf are you talking about
What are you on about? Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse… not stable. They’ve collectively been stable approaching a century.
For me, no. I like the simplicity of just installed stuff. I’ve tried many distros and I always have to Google how to install stuff. And then whenever I have to use the terminal shit just break. Last time I used Linux it destroyed my ssd to where I couldn’t boot anymore
I don’t know how to use it != unstable
Forgot how toxic the Linux community is
You literally came in firing and now youre complaining that someone stood up for themselves? Lmao fuck off
It can be, because it is huge. But I’m pretty sure it is more toxic to call something unstable because you don’t understand it than to point that fact out. Now, if you have a concrete complaint or question, I’d be happy to try and help, but stability isn’t your issue.There are machines that have been running for decades.
I didn’t call anyone unstable. It was the other way around. Just read the posts. I said I have problem with Linux. And I have for years. But then everyone attacks me over it 🤷♂️
Didn’t say you called anyone unstable.
I haven’t seen a stable Linux except for steam os.
What you did, was call Linux unstable. Which is just objectively untrue. I’m not attacking you. On the contrary, I generally try to be helpful about it. But what you did was say something toxic, maybe accidentally and then call others toxic for pointing that out. Bottom line, Linux isn’t unstable.
They’re right. Linux didn’t break your system, you did. Which has happened to pretty much every Linux user at some point. You can either take it as a learning opportunity or get frustrated that there are no guardrails
