"You should totally install Linux, Bro/Sis"
And if you install it often enough you might change from bro to sis /s
Linux girlies are the goats
It’s a myth, no cisgender women, only transgender women and femboys, but yea they’re the goats
More like "What is Linux?"
Outside of my tech career, I've never met a human that knows the word "Linux". I don't mean how it works, I mean they've never heard the word. Those same people don't know what an operating system is. "Uh, is that like Apple?"
I think that's what linux fanatics don't understand. Their answer to everything is: just install linux, it's perfect.
Something didn't work, what now?
"Oh you have a nvidia graphics card? Hahaha, okay now you go to this website and copy 32 lines of code.
That's all nice and all, do i have to explain that to my sister who is always proud when she doubleclicks fast enough?
If you're in a place where that opinion is unpopular you may not be in the real world.
I'm pretty sure my friends are real, and none of them are installing Linux any time soon.
It's just that around my part of the world, not actually doing it is way more common than not thinking you probably should be doing it.
I've actually converted multiple family members to Linux, but it does take patience to work with them ensuring they can do everything they currently do
I’ve got my first ~~victim~~ windows refugee almost ready to switch! Just waiting for a good day when she has a lot of mental energy
