i get a little annoyed at posts that start with broad statements like “is linux actually ready for the average user?” but then it’s just someone asking for help to fix a problem they have with their sources.list or whatever. it’s not a massive problem, but it’s misleading and it feels borderline inflammatory sometimes

please tell when you’re asking for help

    Sometimes I think about doing this, but then I remember that Linux is not my hobby these days, it’s my productivity platform.

      I understand! For most of my career its been the same for me.

      The “big” switch I’m currently contemplating at the moment is moving to FreeBSD on my home file server.

      I do sometimes consider switching my workstation to OpenBSD when I get nostalgic for the early struggle days of linux. Like when you had to be really careful with hardware selection and what not.

      But then I remember I had a lot more free time in those days!
