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)

    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.

      “before steam os there never was a stable Linux distribution”

      what a galaxy brain take

      valve would have never taken the risk of using Linux if it was not stable in the first place

      also you do realize the entire web runs in Linux, do you think these servers just randomly crash for no reason ?

      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.

      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

              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
