You just gotta think different
We also have ~5 major package managers (which all work differently) with usually 20 different package names depending on the repo, and you chose to ignore that part.
Damn, is your name JVC? 'cause you're projecting like a pro.👌
Bwahahaha. Apparently your "accuracy" doesn't include the wisdom to avoid rhetorical nonsense, for example how not to construct a straw man. I saw similar behaviour with other people before. You're either a troll or lying to yourself. Either way and with all due respect, you're full of shit. I take the "you sound American" as a compliment for my English skills though, given it's not my first language. I'm not American, fortunately.
Yes it is for a lot of people. Do you think the system will happily keep working for those it persecutes? This is a mistake a lot of Jews, Democrats, LGBT and others make every time the can't imagine their country goes fascist, and it always backfires. Right now of those who're technically eligible for a passport, citizens with migrant origin (or those who "look like it") as well as trans people are already in danger of not being able to flee anymore. The first are persecuted by ICE, the second are being erased and now they (with Musk at the helm) start framing them as terrorists.
You're living under a fascist government, act accordingly and do it swiftly.
Yeah. You also can edit mounts via GUI tools instead of manipulating fstab. You can configure shares without opening smb.conf. You can do all these things, now if we would just communicate how user-friendly a Linux distro can be that would be nice. Right now it's still a wild goose chase to find instructions how to do things graphically and therefore accessibly and more safely, as every search first and foremost results in tons of (often time different) CLI commands. And there are too many in the community who counter with disabling or elitist bullshit, as if someone who isn't into RTFM for every click somehow can't be allowed to flip a switch. It's exhausting to fight against these sentiments, especially now where apparently a lot of people suddenly realize that Microsoft and Apple might not be the best idea to trust. People who just want use and trust their computer.

Love how this meme once again shows a Linux terminal command (that only works on specific distros) instead of what most users would want (which would work on almost any user-friendly distro), the button in the File Manager to add the network share to your left sidebar.
Somehow people still believe CLI commands are superior, meanwhile people who just want to get Linux-unrelated shit done (that isn't IT-related either) don't understand what exactly happens here and won't be able to permanently add the share to their file browser this way. Y'know, the way most people would use it in their daily workflow.
Where Apple fails in proper software integration, Linux fails in feature communication. Instead of properly integrating features (Apple) or providing/focusing on doing things intuitively and accessibly (Linux), both want the user to start thinking their way. And I fucking hate it, it prevents Linux from becoming more popular.

Non-destructive editing was way, way more important. Shapes can be done differently anyway.
A couple of years ago must mean it was either a kit aimed at developers (like the current RISC-V machines) or some chinese garbage (they often just ship one distro and never update or push any drivers upstream). 🫤
Unfortunately bad companies (incl. those who do not label their products correctly, as in "for developers & enthusiasts) can be found in any space.
Perhaps the last thing I see before it slices me into pieces.
That or a Shade, a Replicant, a Machine, a Dragon, a Logic Virus, Kainé…
It's ready if you use a Linux device, you get dedicated laptops for as low as 600€ by now.
Unfortunately people keep comparing diy machines with Windows and Mac. That's simply not a fair comparison, there are reasons a Linux vendor often charges a few hundred bucks more for a Clevo or Tongfang design laptop (not just because they have to finance their support). Thousands of work hours are needed for every detail of a device-software combo to be prepared for the average user. And most of that hard work eventually get upstreamed or is about fixing FOSS bugs in the first place, so buying from Linux computer vendors is a win for everyone.
That's also the reason why Channels (or "Influencers") like The Linux Experiment are talking so positively about everything while still aiming at a relatively "average" audience (meaning no Linux nerds). They use Slimbooks, Tuxedos, System76's, Star Labs…
If you got the money, get one of those. If you absolutely hate it Windows will, in 99% of all cases, still work on them.
If it's a furry they might go for Vaporeon.
…NieR.
So either I die rather quickly or live in a world of lasting sorrow and decay with short bursts of beauty doomed to fail. But at least I can be philosophical about it, right?
Austria, apparently.
They were just happy it wasn't them for once.
Sounds like the Irish version of the german winter chaos. The very moment the first snowflake drops it's total chaos, trains being terminated left and right due to an old railway switch that still saw Adolf freezing shut again.
To be fair, Google Maps sucks ass in this regard. If you ever visit Europe, never EVER trust it for public transit information. Always look on the native apps and websites. Google Maps regularly offers me routes that either don't exist anymore, not at that time or day of the week, unnecessarily require a group taxi somewhere or are simply extremely inefficient. Instead of a 95min travel it wanted me to go for a route that took 145 minutes the last time (luckily I knew it was bullshit).
Even FOSS apps that may acquire travel data through rather novel means will provide more accurate information than the billions of dollars available to Googles car heads.
ZorinOS: Always wears fancy fashion, completely forgets to do any homework though.
Kali Linux: Always got a copy of all the answers. Nobody knows how. Somewhat creepy.
ElementaryOS: Thinks of themself as special. Always has to do things slightly different than others.
You clearly didn't understand the point of my original rant. Also no, people don't necessarily know how to use the package manager via CLI. Tools like Discover and Gnome Software exist for a reason, and people who feel more comfortable using them (instead of a CLI, which is a literal black box to common people) get harshly ignored by people who argue exactly like you. This is about accessibility, and these exact discussions are the reason I'm pissed.
