    If you see this meme and think “well actually, I had a really difficult time last time I tried to install Linux” - did you ask for help? That’s what the internet is for.

      I did, and the feedback told me to RTFM and LMGTFY.

      I plan to install Linux mint on my laptop when I get time. I’m sure Linux is ready, never really doubted that, but I wonder if the Linux community is ready.

        In fairness, the community has plenty of assholes. However, I think there’s something to be said about electronic literacy and how a lot of people expect to have their hand held through every process.

        It’s almost like people have gotten really used to instant gratification and it’s not reasonable. A certain amount of figuring it out should be expected.

          Being able to work is not “instant gratification”. People need it to be able to afford to live, and often in doing jobs that are directly essential for the life or quality of life of others. Incredibly out of touch take imo

            It’s become that ubiquitous because there’s an expectation of instant gratification.
