    Yup, bashing on arbitrary “generations” is stupid. The whole “okay, boomer” meme manifested after thousands of ridiculous articles about blaming the youth for buying less diamond rings or whatever. It just turned around the absurdity. That was the funny part. Just seriously blaming our elderly is stupid the same way.

    I dont think so. Maybe once? I dont remember all the distros i tried over the years. As i said it even happened with ubuntu on a thinkpad where i made it a point to do no funky shit at all.

    Currently i’m running CachyOS and do lots of funky shit. Fair game. But only because i know i just can roll back if something breaks.

    Well, i made the final switch to linux myself last year and i’m pretty happy all things considered. But while a lot of things improved over the last 10 years some deal breakers are still around. In my case: just this week an update broke my desktop enviroment entirely for the SECOND time since august. I couldnt even log in. Yeah, i had automatic back ups and the issue was solved in 5 minutes.

    But thats not my point. Every single linux install i had going since 2012 fucking died on it itself at some point because of an update. On three different thinkpads, three different tower PCs, running like 6 or 7 different distros. On some of these thinkpads i literally only used the browser to watch youtube and shitpost for months. Nothing else. Didnt touch the console once and never ran some random c&p command i didnt understand. Didnt install anything else. Also i used normie distros like ubuntu and the like. Still every single time at some point an update killed the entire GUI/OS. In the past i just switched back to Windows.

    Now Windows is so bad that i learned to deal with this shit. Maybe i’m unlucky. Maybe i’m stupid. But this is just a constant for me in the linux experience. IDK how i could recommend Linux to my normie friends/family. I let massgrave run for them for LTSC or extended support stuff. Done, and i will probably never hear a thing about that OS/PC again. Linux? Nah, i’m good. I dont have the time to do first level support for them if something breaks.

    /Also atm i just have the time to geek out and invest time in my OS. Just 3 years ago that would have been a no-go. Things i use for leisure just needed to work in my very limited spare time. Back then i’d rather have taken a nap than to deal with tech issues.
