yea god forbid i dont give my pound of flesh so the state can give it to a crackhead whos been unemployed since the clinton era

My parents use Linux exclusively, works wonders for them.

I would probly say the crypto problem annoys me but i'm not salty at the people buying up cards

niggas on they hustle

They unlearned Windows, they feel at home with Gnome Shell.

coinfaggery is autism

Lol

i wont disagree with that

it will never take off because nobody who isnt a coinfag cares about cryptocurrency, it doesn't improve the lives of any normal people

And here we got our resident Linux shill
<:sargoy:382978736053551104>

Linux is great for parents, because no Anti-Virus crap, SELinux makes it.

i cant think of anything worse to give my parents than linux

except maybe OSX

Lol

In my case, it's the user interface. My mom can finally understand multiple windows and multiple desktops.

Why should parents not be able to use Gnome3?

my dad exits chrome and reopens when he wants to visit a different site, what do you think is gonna happen when you install an OS that relies on a command line?

i dont understand why people debate linux in general vs windows in general

Linux doesn't rely on the command line.

Thats bullshit.

theyre both great and terrible for many things

My parents don't even know what a command line is.

@M4Gunner because arguing is autistic

i have never once used linux in any capacity that didn't involve copy pasting commands off of the ubuntu forums

And these guys are drawn to it

Like I said, that's Ubuntu's fault.

happened with arch too

<:sargoy:382978736053551104>

My system, Mageia Linux, is far superior. They have GUI for all those administrative tasks that Ubuntu tells you to `sudo gedit /etc/...`

we're living in a post-autism society

and debian, and raspian, etc

DKO be like <:sargoy:382978736053551104> Linux

nearly everyone engage in autism from time to time

Do you use the command line for your Android phone?

i hate android phones

99.999% of Android users don't `adb shell ...` into their phones.

@DanielKO imagine you literally have never even heard of a command line and you have to use linux, are you genuinely gonna tell me thats gonna work?

Yes, it works.

horseshit

Both my parents fit that description.

if youre only using a browser

My mom even installed printers and set up a network, using GUI tools only.

Guys, we dont have 2009. A lot has changed..

if you can upload a video of linux installing, booting, and installingf drivers and basic apps without once interacting with the terminal on a physical machine i will eat my windows install drive on camera.

if it didnt ship with software that can get a normie through their work day and dvd session

Er... most can do that.

Fucking do it

Package managers, they're not a new thing.

Now they're agnostic.

normies dont know package managers

ive installed linux dozens of times and every time there was a major, system-breaking error that required the terminal

they dont know what to look or ask for

The city Munich (München) has migrated to Linux for office workers,

why the hell should anyone have to know what a package manager is?

its fine to need to know what a package manager is

It was stopped by the new government due to corruption by Microsoft. They moved a development center there. Assholes.

There's this thing, "PackageKit", it's a universal interface for package managers.

but linux isnt going to boot into an explanation of the slightly different way you use it

keep in mind your target audience struggles to operate a web browser, do you really think they'll be able to do any of that

Microsoft is definitely satan

I don't expect my parents to install Linux from scratch, no; mostly because they'd panic freeze during it.

@Deleted User are you German?

no windows user will argue against that normally

They wouldn't be able to install Windows either.

Nein.

But close.

Dutch?

MS is just another corporation doing corporation things

No.

Austrian.

Ah

Dont call us Germans.

even Linux Torvalds will tell you linux distros suck for your parents

Shut up mountain German

I will find your home and haunt you.

i haven't bought windows ever so rest assured im not feeding MS

I bought another Win7 just 2 years ago

@Deleted User you are Germany, without military traditions

if you buy a computer that ships with win, youre still buying OEM win tho

>Austrian army
>not a joke

hows it like living in the birthplace of hitler but getting swallowed uyp by literally any empire to ever border you?

Here's where Mageia makes the most difference: it has a "Mageia Control Center"; most of the configuration tasks (video, network, network sharing, date and time, disk partitioning, printers management, etc) are done there, using GUI. If it needs a package, it prompts the user, "xyz needs to be installed to proceed, Ok, Cancel?" Not once it let me down, of some 17 years of using it.

And if you look for support, they don't tell users to go hunt down `/etc/...` files.

austria is just redundant germany lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qj8p-PEwbI

its all part of the grosse merkelreich anyway, makes no difference

european countries are hardly more relevant than US states

Austria is the better Germany.

The Austrians are jew bastards, spinning hitler as german

Thats right.

how did that immediate capitulation to the nazis work out for you?

Good

lol conquered austria without a single shot

gg

They played the “Austria dindu nuffin” card

It was basically voluntarily.

austria niggas:

Austrian liked the Nazis too.

Austrians were gay for the nazis
