Title is clickbate.

Ironically enough it creates Sharepoints for each of your groups.

You mean Lync?

They unfortunately forgot the second step and went straight the extinguish.

Ban small bottles of water that claim magical fixes?

You can support Palestine as a people right to live, and condemn Israeli blanket bombing without supporting Hamas’ shooting civilians.

Or did you also struggle with condemning British occupation of Ireland, whilst also disagreeing with the IRA bombing of civilian targets?

Your confusing a state with a people.

Hama’s want to stop Israel (the state) from existing as they occupy their territory, and make them live in internment camps.

Israel wants to stop the Palestinian people from existing, because they are an inconvenience.

How is learning C++ and QT not programming?

While this is true, learning some kind of programming - shell scripting or BASIC in olden days - is a very useful endeavor.

And learning sewing is useful, but I dont need it to wear clothes.

Pretty sure those are all things that Musk stands for.

The cybertruck is the pinnacle of funding for his shitty views.

Very nice!

All of Windows is malware. By default you have adverts in your start menu, you have pop ups (which is not the same thing as Windows Update, pop ups are a service provided by Explorer) which maliciously install unwanted web browsers.

You can’t support Trump and then claim that only a small part of his following is due to racist bigots.

You can’t support AI and claim that only a small part of it damages the atmosphere.

You can’t support Windows and claim that only part of it is malware.

Windows 100% enables and supports this nefarious behaviour. It’s the abusive spouse trapping you before beating the shit out of you for your own good.

Yeah, you are already running Windows.

If you still consider Windows Update malware then you completely missed the other 90% of your hostile environment.

Its odd to call Windows Update “Malware”.

So the problem is crappy guides?

I was of the opinion that anything that suggested the terminal was purely for speed reasons.

Average Windows guide. Click here, dismiss the warning, click here, click here, close the advert, click next, type in 1, accept, reboot.

Average Linux guide, go to Gnome Tweaks, third option, type in 1, no reboot required. Or open a terminal and paste the following command.

It’s precise, it’s concise, and it’s fast but it’s not required.

the are so many desktop environments

I completely disagree. There is Gnome with 70% of the market, KDE with 30%, and then various hacked together desktops with <1%. Guides should be set up for Gnome because you stick with defaults if you are that scared, maybe a reference for KDE, and if you chose something else then your already in copy/paste commands territory.

There was no part of me setting up SteamOS on my couch PC that required a terminal, which is what we are talking about here.

Zero.

Steam doesn’t require any terminal opening, the hard part are shitty Windows games that pop up boxes to install extra stuff because for some reason they can’t install it when you install the game.

I haven’t been required to use the terminal for anything in years.

Honestly. I’ve been using Linux as my daily driver since the mid-2000’s (Warty Warthog?), and the only times the terminal gets opened these days is through pure choice. Maybe 10 years ago I would agree with you.

I’m running Linux for my couch based gaming and the experience is awesome. Much better than Windows ever was.

What makes you think that Linux is holding Linux back? The UI can be completely customised which makes Steam OS wonderful to use while Microsoft completely ban any customised interface out of the box.

Windows is only popular through inertia.

Funny jokes are welcome.

That was more the type of thing the annoying kid at the back of the class shouts out, where even their friends tell them to shut up.
