I love that Linux exists, but I really don’t appreciate the bullshit PR speak about how regular users can switch from Windows with little-to-no friction. The second something doesn’t work as expected, even a minor thing, they’ll be at a complete loss about how to even investigate the issue, let alone correct it. Windows competency doesn’t transfer to Linux for even the most basic under-the-hood stuff. The less honest you are about that, the fewer people will try Linux a second time, and the more people will write off the entire endeavour as being the domain of computer experts/enthusiasts.
I wonder if Brand had been accused of rape by other men if that would have made the difference. If Trump was accused of raping a male Wall Street banker instead of E. Jean Carroll, would that have smothered his candidacy in its crib? I honestly think it would have. Which is a sad thing to believe.
