  • I really want to like Linux, I really do and I only ever install it on laptops that have aged.

    But it never reaches my desktop, my mainstay, because it can’t do 100% of everything I wanted to. One day, I sat down, opened up a notepad and tried to see what games or what software would work on Linux. My distro of choice would’ve been Mint, here. So, I found a detailed wiki and combed through what games wouldn’t work outright, even with Steam installed. I counted about at least 20+.

    As for software, there is no Notepad++ and I refuse to go without it or settle with alternatives. I don’t mind alternatives, but I’ve been using a computer since I was a kid and for years I’ve had to move on from things I once cherished and happily had as my load-out series of programs to install. I’m just tired of always having to do it and I wasn’t going to, to use Linux.

    Linux just seems to me, to be best geared for lightweight users at best. Very few can wing it with no problem (obviously long-tenured users and/or programmers). If checking your mail, browsing and streaming is all you care about without the Windows nonsense, with some scattershot choice of gaming, then Linux is for you.












  • Okay, there’s a lot of variables here we don’t understand about the dude’s life past what is reported here. We don’t know if his family and friends sucked. We don’t know if everything around him sucked. But from personal experience, if there’s nobody that’s getting you that you have to go and talk with an external source, of one of AI, then there’s a plausibility that the dude’s existence wasn’t fruitful.

    End of story.
