then again, who says the OP was for average person
Nobody, the post is to aid us who are assisting other people to switch. I'm saying people here vastly overestimate the average persons ability AND willingness to actually switch, by themselves or assisted.
Linux is not all that horrible compared to Windows.
It is, in part because Linux is not beginner friendly but mostly because everyone is used to windows. Almost every program they've used is exclusive to it, which is why this post provides a path to eventually introduce them to Linux. Using Linux isn't hard, using it the same way people are used to is. As is troubleshooting and installing 3rd party applications.
So when you're done building strawmans, go touch some grass
Couldn't have said it better, and I've seen the same article as well!
Funny story a coworker told me is his father kept breaking his windows install in the weirdest ways, so he asked him if he'd try Linux and was very reluctant. He showed him his laptop and he said "Oh yeah I used this at work for 30 years!"
Your point is proven by the adaptation of chromebooks, kids have no issue using them and neither should anyone else. It's not a Linux thing, it's a "what did you use the most"-thing. Some distros are ready to be shipped to consumers, bought a laptop with Linux pre-installed in 2018 (XPS 13).
You'll see mainstream use if stores are selling them in-store to consumers. You're up against the likes of Google, Microsoft or Apple when you try to pull that off.
PS: I believe in mainstream Linux use because money has a tendency to ruin everything, just think it will be much slower than us enthusiasts would want.
Exactly, in reality people will use what's given to them. Just like windows, introduce it now and people would lose their fucking minds about how convoluted it is.
Transition costs are what we should be looking at, right now to install or use Linux you need someone with experience explaining it to you. Just like it was when PC's were becoming a thing. Don't have that person? Only alternative is MacOS or ChromeOS for them.
It's actually hilarious how disconnected some Linux folks are lmao
The average person
doesn't know what an operating system is
can barely work with windows, has had many struggles learning windows
is scared of change
doesn't know about the existence of a BIOS
will never be able to boot anything else but default by themselves
doesn't know how to troubleshoot anything about computers
literally does not know or care about the existence of Linux
I know these things are changing, but anyone saying people are able to switch to Linux by themselves and its easy and doable for the average person is fucking delusional, this post is one of the most reasonable takes I've seen on the sub
The pinnacle of world sport isn't the place to make personal statements and 'be yourself'. The only thing the whole world saw is how bad she is at breakdancing. IMO she made a fool out of herself, her country and the sport.
If you enjoy a good voiceover, check out Beau Miles and Bobby Fingers. Beau is all about his adventure philosophy and Bobby doesn't need an introduction. There's just no way to discribe his videos, highly recommended.
I lived in the heart of Bruges for a few years, didn't really mind the tourism. Had great conversations with some, and overall everyone was really friendly. I always noticed people looking like they were in Disneyworld (it's a fairlytale fucking city isn't it?), you can spot a tourist from a mile away.
Worst manners I've seen is walking into a local store to take pictures and walking out without buying anything. And not to add to stereotypes but the American accent is so loud, could hear them 2 blocks away in my apartment lmao
When you visit Bruges, go out at dusk or after midnight. Tourists disappear into their hotels like ants when the sun goes down, stunning views and almost no-one around.
I don't know if they can, the opportunity cost is pretty high with these massive channels. Two weeks of grinding might be worth it for them, meanwhile MrBeast himself keeps on repeating this ridiculous notion he's "revealing the true potential" of said creators. Meanwhile he's just exploiting their knowledge and work ethic to grow his own brand.
Yeah the dude always comes off entitled as hell. A few creators I follow have collabed with him and it's always the same story: "He called me and asked for a two month project in two weeks, ofcourse I said yes he's MrBeast."
In a similar vein I've read about people bending backwards for Disney or Pixar, and them abusing their reputation to undercut the market.
Photoshop has existed for a bit now. So incredibly shocking it was only going to get better and easier to do, move along with the times oldtimer.
