    Windows user: I’m thinking about switching to Linux, mind helping me out Linux User?

    Linux user: ok, so what you want to do is just figure it out yourself.

    Windows user: finds debian and fucks everything up wow Linux is terrible, I’ll stick to using Windows 11.

      Speaking on that: a lot of people act as if promoting Linux means simply “to get others to install it”. And they ignore that the newbie will need help the first days, weeks, even months. Then the newbie gets burned out and switches back to Windows.

      That probably explains why some people manage to retain even tech illiterate people using Linux, while others struggle to convince even tech literate ones to switch.
