Some asshole selling gold shoes and bibles out of the White House.

Sounds very 1930’s German like.

You are completely missing my point. Linux will not be adopted by the masses which it needs to do to kill Microsoft’s stranglehold on the industry while there is no uniformity to it. The idea of hating Microsoft but not wanting to make it easier for current Microsoft users to switch to Linux isn’t coming from 2 sides of the Linux group. It coming from the same individuals. It’s the worst type of gatekeeping.

But that’s the whole issue. Microsoft will continue to dictate how the internet and computers in general function if the regular users don’t adopt something else. The regular users won’t adopt Linux because the current users of Linux want to gatekeep Linux. You bitch and complain “why do people user shitty Windows?” Then when given an answer say “we don’t want them using Linux anyway.” You are showing exactly how fucking stupid you are.

Says you who do not represent everyone.

You don’t understand marketing and that people need a uniform experience. You need simplicity to get the average person. You’re thinking as a advanced computer user, not a basic or novice user.

Many many features and functions missing. It’s made for games.

That is my point. With Linux as a PC OS people cannot become familiar with it because there are too many user interfaces. The Linux supporters as a whole need to pick one and push it and only it to be viable for the average Joe.

You statement is invalidate immediately by saying DOS was a GUI. It was text based and the text commands were consistent across most versions of DOS.

The Steam Deck is an exception as it has a highly specialized OS with functionality and optimization limited to one thing: playing games.

Android is still more consistent than PC Linux. Most Android interfaces are nearly identical. Give me and Android phone that I’ve never used before and I know how to perform the most common tasks without help. Not the same.

Windows 95 launched like a rock concert and since computers came with Windows, everyone’s experience was the same so you did have KDE installed then go look for help and have people say “no no no. Install Gnome” like you get with Linux. You want linux to be mainstream, you need to appeal to the average dumb person which means ditch all but 1 interface.

Still more consistent out of the box than the dozens of GUIs of Linux.

Linux will never be mainstream while it’s controlled by nerds. I mean there is no uniform interface (there’s so many guitar options) and when people want to learn it, the support is from people who think “it just works”.

Disgusting.

The longest ad I’ve see on YouTube was about 7 years ago and I watched the whole ad because someone paid for the entire Michael Jackson’s Thriller video as an ad.

2 issues. Inconsistent quality control of ads. In some places ads have content that would be banned in the actual YouTube videos. There’s also inconsistent quantity of ads. You can have 5 second or 14.5 second unskippable ads with the timer for determining if an ad is unskipple getting longer and longer. I’ve also seen a 10 minute video with 3 double ad stops and it’s all creeping up with them even now not showing the timer for ads in the Android app. They were fine when they started ads but it’s getting worse.

Until Trump makes that illegal.

They should have had the guts to make Harry trans.

Dystopian.
