Is this LOLCODE 2.0?

The UI is fine.

It's just that Github is a code sharing and collaboration platform for developers, not a software package distribution platform for end users.

Dutch even has non-binary words.

Unless you have a very clearly predefined and unchanging use case, I think a personal computer will always be a pet and trying to enforce a cattle paradigm on it is a mistake.

Furthermore I find it a waste of time sorting out "user files" from "system files", not to mention that it is error prone, when I can easily just back up everything and be sure. I don't ever intend to restore "everything" as a whole, but being able to refer to previous versions of random files (like your /etc/fstab), even if it's just for troubleshooting, has already proven to be invaluable for me.

Or you know, just backup your system entirely.

Well even so you're barking up the wrong tree. Read my comment history: I never gave anyone the personal advise to switch to Linux, because honestly I don't care about what anyone uses, and frankly I dislike Windows users coming over to Linux forums expecting everything to be the same as Windows under a different name and complaining when it isn't. I was merely explaining why people are giving that advise.

Again, I'm not going to silence or censor myself for some random internet bully like you. Who the fuck are you to say what kind of advise I can and cannot give? Get lost.

I'm not a Windows user, and certainly not a Windows expert. Why should I have to provide solutions to Windows problems? I use Linux so that I don't have to bother with that shit.

Listen, if you don't like what I have to say, don't read my comments, block me or stop replying or something, but I'm not going to shut myself up to please some random twerp like you.

Fuck off with your stupid takes

Yeah, real mature take you have there buddy.

offer a real solution to the problem.

"My husband always beats me when he is drunk. Don't tell me to leave him, just tell me how I get him to stop beating me"

^ This is you basically.

Even point 4 is something I have never experienced, and is probably also lack of understanding.

A filesystem is either mounted or it isn't. Mounted for one program but not for another doesn't exist. If they don't see it in the filepicker, they probably just don't know the mount point.

JFC people like you ... You have like the worst case of Stockholm syndrome I've ever seen. I swear the only reason you are getting so angry and defensive when people recommend Linux is because deep down you know they're speaking the truth.

Yes you were sweetie.

This may sound strange to you, but I actually don't give a single fuck about how you perceive things.

Even if it's only one, I will have helped one person, unlike you who has only been bitching and moaning.

For people like me who took that advice: pretty damn great actually, thanks for asking!

That's exactly the kind of shit abused people say to justify staying with their abusive partner. ("Oh it's not so bad" - she says with a black eye - "and he's really sweet normally")

Yes in the short term it can be painful to leave an abusive person you've come to depend upon, but in the long term it's always the better solution.

When people tell you to use Linux, they're not telling you that to solve your immediate problem (e.g. your "show desktop" icon has been replaced with a different icon), but they are telling you to get out of your abusive relationship with Microsoft, because that is the real problem: Microsoft does not respect you, the end-user of their product, and this kind of abusive shit will keep happening for as long as you keep using Windows.

No it isn't.

It's more like saying: if that guy you hang out with keeps pushing you into the water and you almost drown every time, perhaps you should stop hanging out with that guy.

Of course, that's not what people who are in an abusive relationship typically want to hear.

People be like:
