And where they ridicule Windows users because they're "not good enough at computers to use Linux" yet they keep pointing out all the ways they themselves aren't able to use Windows 🤔
That’s actually one of my biggest complaints about Linux users tbh. Sure, Linux is great. But half of the “windows doesn’t let you do [X]” complaints are really just “I couldn’t figure out how to do [X] and couldn’t be bothered to google it” in disguise.
Because basic windows functionality is almost always hidden behind layers of gui bullshit and is literally like staring at the sun.
Ubuntu be like
Except that Windows is constantly touted as being "easy to use" relative to Linux.
It is, but you can't do advanced changed if you can't be bothered to search for stuff.
Because for 99% of users, it is. Most people don’t need to go digging in the settings for obscure changes, because most people aren’t making obscure changes.
Because it is?
Funnily enough it's the less computer oriented people which I have put onto Linux, when all a user uses is web, office, and email it doesn't matter what OS they're using
