Normal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life "hacking" with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.
Meanwhile the entire Internet :

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Tfw windows uses forward slashes too. Now let's talk about how *nix is case sensitive because laziness.
But all fall short of God's glory that is Temple OS.
I won't have the perfect OS until I've rewritten Temple OS from scratch as Hannah Montana's Temple, The OS
(Idiots)... Way to roast normal people. Don't know if they will ever recover. The best bit was putting it in brackets.
You are normal people.
Ready, normal people?
I'm ready, Trekkie Monster!
You are normal people.
For a fact, i'm not normal.
I've spent ways less time editing the windows registry than I've spent trying to fix all the dual monitor bugs with linux.
Windows issues/changes are a 30 second google search away, linux issues often enough require a 1 hour deep dive into multiple forums.
Have you googled Windows issues? Every problem apparently is fixed by running chkdsk or download a "driver updater". And it wasn't exactly good in the past either.
If you don't know what to search, how to word it, or where to look instead of clicking the first link with "[SOLUTION]" then maybe you shouldn't be troubleshooting...
Oh come off it. Obviosuly you don't click those the problem is the Microsoft support articles are outdated/missing and their own forums aren't much better.
The chaff you have to cut through for Microsoft products is on another level.
It... Depends... Also, you picked the wrong platform to argue against Linux on 😅
The fact that you have to say it depends and wait for clarification of which exact flavor of Linux version and problem it is is just chef's kiss
Ah yes, no counter arguments here, only patting on the back while everyone takes turns looking down on a different group of people.
Wayland pretty much solves every single dual monitor issue. Only problem now is getting complete Nvidia support and patching out edge cases. I dual monitor all the time, and not just normal dual monitor either, the monitor count increases or decreases on a whim and not a single screen in use are the same. They all have different refresh rates, resolutions, orientations, vrr & hdr support, color ranges, etc. everything works as expected.
Last time I checked (during the installation of Fedora 39), HDR support was nearly non-existent in Linux, with the only options being some hacky experimental support for gaming via Gamescope. Has that changed in the last 6 months? It’s the only thing holding me back from jumping to Linux these days.
KDE Plasma 6 has experimental HDR support. The HDR Wayland protocol isn't finished just yet. Here's a good source.
I do technical support (mainly Windows but some Linux) and fully agree; most people just want to project for one reason or another. My main concern is privacy and bloat, but those are easy enough to address on either platform.
You sound like an (idiot); you as an individual are not defined by your OS of preference of all things, and by all means, you are one of the normals.
yeah, and most people dont even know linux exists
thats like calling a kid dumb for not understanding how multiplication works when they havent yet learned it in school

I once spent several hours at work trying to mount a USB drive to red hat. I'll keep fighting windows for now.

On work machines, it may also be on purpose (IT department having restricted the use of USB storage).
Yeah. If that's not one of the first things IT did when they got hired, then you need a new IT. You seriously can't trust anyone to not plug a random USB into volatile infostructure.
Also, they could do it to prevent theft of their proprietary code and other things that you'd probably need to sign a NDA to even see in the first place.
I don't think so; there was a procedure for it and we had root access. It just didn't work according to the procedure, nor any of the ones I found online. If I remember correctly, it said to mount sda1 and that didn't work. Another different machine worked with sdb0 or 1. Ended up having to plug a laptop in with a network cable and ftp the files.
/dev/sda1 might have been your computers hard disk, with "sda1" in the instructions being an example.
