i get a little annoyed at posts that start with broad statements like “is linux actually ready for the average user?” but then it’s just someone asking for help to fix a problem they have with their sources.list or whatever. it’s not a massive problem, but it’s misleading and it feels borderline inflammatory sometimes

please tell when you’re asking for help

    I feel you and that’s the main reason why I eventually give up on Linux discussion groups. “Is Linux ready”? Yeah, it’s been ready for decades now. I sometimes wonder if these annoying posts are just FUD coming from Apple and Microsoft.

      Seriously, as someone who has been using linux as their daily driver since 2000, I find it pretry amusing.

        Same here - daily driving Linux at home for at least 25 years now. I’m not a gamer, but for all the things I do, Linux has worked perfectly fine.
