Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • Heh, I’m literally in the same boat as you - testing distros and such. And I studied programming for some time so I have above average tech literacy and yet still I had to spend some time learning how to get old wi-fi on a laptop to work (thankfully well documented), and I still have to tinker with which distro will be best for my hardware as it’s not only kinda old, but also I have nvidia card and some wierd wifi so I am ready for things to be weird.

    And I hope I didn’t come off as saying that Linux is some insurmountable wall for everyday folk in original comment but as you pointed out - everyday folk ain’t willing to deal with any problems in the first place.

    XKCD comic about specialists expectations towards everyday folk come to mind xD

    And then ask again each and every single time something doesn’t work. Or you need to install something. Something is badly configured.

    You need at least medium level tech literacy to deal with Linux. Maaaaybe entry level with Mint and the like, but still, if you get skittish due to console, at which 70% of worlds population at minimum does, Linux ain’t for you.

    Windows is successful because it’s easy to understand and holds your hand as much as possible. People who are complaining are quite often folk who are simply forced to use it, most people don’t really see anything wrong, even those using tech more…

    Draw the rest of the owl ass instruction xD

    “balance the herbs”, “when it seems ready, add noodles”, not even gonna mention having a lot of spices and all that.

    Do not take this as me criticising youe instruction - it may be good! For people that know what are they doing. xD

    And also, still a lot longer than just stir-fry or bakin/roastin.


  • I literally wanted to argue with top level comment about the fact that in Linux everything is fucking disconnected and a lot of placement makes some sense from technical PoV but sure as hell not from “I dunno what I’m doin” PoV.

    But then this comment snapped me out of it. Control Panel in Windows is no more. I forgot as I still default to it on Win 10. They fucked up one of the most important parts of why Windows was better for green folk. :<

    Meat with some texture - not slimy or watery. So this limits me, personally, quite a bit. And if I have to throw meat on the pan and then throw it into a soup…what’s the point of soup, just add veggies to pan and stir fry it xD

    I need to add, I don’t like cooking that much so I focus on least time in kitchen possible.

    And still, cooking takes a lot longer than frying and I guess similiar time like doing things in the oven? And is still more complicated than both of these, as you can both fry and bake.roast with just salth and pepper and things still taste good.

    I am amazed by people willing to cook soups constantly. Mostly because it’s such a long process compared to just throwing shit in the pan, or even throwing shit in the oven. :|

    I also hate cooked meat due to it’s texture, but that’s on me xD

    This comic plays with expectations in a clever, visual punchline. The woman expresses her love for minimalism and zen design, setting up an image of sleek, curated interiors. But when they enter the man’s apartment, it’s minimalism in the most literal—and hilariously underwhelming—sense: a bare mattress, a lawn chair, and a single poster of cartoonish musclemen.

    The humor hinges on the contrast between aesthetic minimalism and practical minimalism. It’s a wink at how people interpret trends differently, and maybe a gentle roast of bachelor pads everywhere. If you’re into visual storytelling or comic timing, this one nails it with just two panels. Want to explore more comics with this kind of humor or dig into minimalist design tropes?
