  • I use Linux btw.

    Gimp is great and free btw.

    I can just compress that video with a single command btw.

    You want to resize that image? Let me pull up a terminal. This is Linux btw.

    ( Even though not all of us are using Arch, we all have little Arch trolls inside us)

  • This isn’t true either, because when I’ve built computers in the past, we go over which OS is trash.

  • And since when recommending operating system is weird? People recommend YouTube channels, productivity apps, TV shows, tech gadgets... Recommending something that is second most popular thing is not weird.

    I got a friend who was constantly downloading shit from shady "gratis" software sites injecting adware. Because of common reinstalling I had to do for him I had to create second partition for his personal files to not constantly transfer them back and forth the USB disk. But then he struggle to manage his files, because I couldn't just put his /home directory on separate logical volume, no. Windows required him to juggle files around C: and D: drives with fixed sizes and with Desktop and Downloads being on C: anyway. People using Btrfs or LVM know what I am talking about. As he mostly used a browser, LibreOffice and games from Steam/Epic, why I shouldn't suggest him another OS?

    Another example can be my grandpa with older computer (talking 2GB of RAM) that is perfectly happy with lightweight but modern system. Or my nephew who loves playing with painting programs, webcam and Minesweeper-like games without additional popups or TikTok shortcuts being placed in app menu.
