Pros of Linux: does exactly what you ask it to do.
Cons of Linux: does exactly what you ask it to do.
Reminds me of my first day of a computer programming class. My teacher told us to write down instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Then he would follow the instructions.
“Put the peanut butter inside two slices of bread.” He’d grab the jar of peanut butter and put the whole jar inside two slices of bread
“Grab a knife and scoop out the peanut butter.” He’d start stabbing the lid.
Beautiful analogy of what it’s like to deal with technology
I remember seeing a video where somebody did that with their kids! https://youtu.be/cDA3_5982h8
I thought it was hilarious. But you're totally right, in the comments everyone's talking about how they're programming class had that same thing :)

Problem is:
I have no idea what I asked it to do!
For example I was creating systemd services and stuff because it is actually fun in comparison to init.d back in the days. Now I usually just copy paste tutorials and adjust it until my stuff works.
But my boot time somehow got longer O didn't noticed it at first, but when I finally digged to the problem it seems that for timed Services you don't want the Service to be installed(or even able to be instlled) and only enable the timer.
No tutorial told me that.
To be fair I didn't read the documentation on systemd. But who does?
See also, the video where linus tech tips tries linux and totally borks his install after ignoring all warnings that what he's doing is probably not what he wants to do
It does exactly what the people on the internet are telling me to make it do. There's a big difference.
I know it's hard to accept, but Linux (no matter the distro) requires external help a lot more than Windows or OSX, even for people who are tech literate.
Preach. I love Linux. I run PopOS and have tried several distros. I ran Linux only from 2008-2013. It's gotten so much better than it used to. But there is still so much to do if we ever want to reach mass desktop adoption.

"I can actually control and issue commands by myself instead of relying on shady installers and other type of automated-related stuff?"
"Whoooooa, whoa now buddy.... that is too much."
I got a new pc so I started messing around with linux on the old machine after 10 years or so from last using linux. The pc has an i7 from 2009 16g ram and gtx1060 and a ssd for os. Running popos. Going in and playing some steam games natively made me very happy with experience on that machine.
Haven’t you ever done exactly what a client asked and they hated it?
I have been tinkering with NixOS and my god is that true.
Does exactly what you want it to do*
*Until you encounter a broken or buggy package, then you have to fix it lol
"Yes, do as i say!"
