    For a community that loves Linux so much, Lemmy seems really obsessed with everything Microsoft does

      Honestly if there was a Linux anything that I could just buy and install as easily as Windows, I’d totally be up for it because well I’m not completely tech illiterate, most of my computer knowledge comes from the '90s and early '00s when I was young. All I ever see about it online though is a bunch of conflicting tech speak that I just do not understand.

        Tbh you can actually quite easily buy a computer with Linux pre installed (ironically they cost more than the ones that come with windows though). I wouldn’t recommend it though, regardless of tech literacy. The problem is that Linux is like 70% easy and great, 20% frustratingly glitchy and unfinished, and 10% getting stuck on completely impossible problems that you will lose weeks of your life to before eventually concluding that no solution actually exists. Nothing ever quite just works, there’s always some caveat or minor issue and you end up chasing rabbit holes instead of actually using your computer to do what you wanted to do

        If you want I can walk you through installing/getting ready for linux, it’s genuinely incredibly easy now.

        There is conflicting gobbledygook online for the simple reason that people like to try and find their ideal setup

      Sadly, I can’t choose Linux on my work machine.
