so if someone asks a question you literally cannot say that it doesn't matter, because in saying so you'll have formed an opinion on it? that's ridiculous.

you know what good point, i guess i was familiar with the term before i was familiar with reddit so I made the wrong assumption. still the rest of what i said is true: it doesn't matter.

that's because windows is beginner friendly. too much for my taste, but that's how you get people to come aboard. by making it easy for a dumbass to use. simple terms, familiar words, relatable metaphors, graphic interface, installers that do the work for you...

you don't need a windows community to figure things out on windows. i was like 6 when I started using windows 3.x and i did fine because it was either intuitive or it taught me how to do things.

with Linux you do need to refer to communities to even know where to start, and even then the community is fucking indecipherable. nerds don't know how to speak human.

funny you mention strawman literally in the middle of your strawman argument. is that lampshade hanging?

looks at totally normal thing: "isn't this weird?"

nah. it's still you. you're weird.

are you AI? you don't seem to follow the conversation at all

i mean I'm open to alternatives but it's just easier than the hassle of implementing taxes over 100%

also the guy fawkes man never did anything. guillotines famously did. so I'm suggesting tried and true policy here.

is there nothing bullying cannot solve

dude where do you think I'm hanging out that I'm gonna find people who use Linux in person

proving my point. Linux users are worse than Mac users in this aspect. but keep wondering why Linux barely finding 4% market share is big news.

this is not language mate, it's pr. if you don't understand the difference between rich being used to mean plentiful and intelligence being used to mean glorified autocorrect that doesn't even know what it's saying that's a problem with your understanding of language.

also my problem isn't about doing math. doing math is a skill, it's not intelligence. if you don't teach someone about math they're most likely not going to invent the whole concept from scratch no matter how intelligent they may be. my problem is that it can't analyze and solve problems. this is not a skill, it's basic intelligence you find in most animals.

also it doesn't even deal with meaning, and doesn't even know what it says means, and doesn't even know whether it knows something or not, and it's called a "language model". the whole thing is a joke.

people not knowing shit about tech is not their fault. I've been using tech for 30+ years, and I'm usually the most tech savvy person in my circle of family and friends, except for a friend in IT.

the reason I'm not getting into Linux is no longer gaming, it's that whenever i see some fuckers talking about Linux it's completely indecipherable with proper names, commands, and jargon. it's straight up technobabble, and when it's not insufferable elitism it's certainly disinviting.

you think people are going to listen to a bunch of nerds talking about distros and shit, using 40 different acronyms within two sentences, and think "ah this is my new home" ... like do you fucking hear yourselves at all‽ you sound exactly like a character from the hackers, and not in a good way.

if anything is preventing people from switching it's Linux users, and probably developers as well. if you make it look like people have to have a degree to get into your shit, they're not gonna do it.
