Also, I just don't know where to start learning.
As I said with the file system, I watched many videos, and ALL of them were like: here are the folders....

And since most people use Linux as a server instead of a main OS, the entire sphere of guides is about how to install Appache and... yeah, that is all you'll ever need.

5 foods a day? How can she live like this? It's so weird :ablobcatsweatsip:

Fucking newbie tester cannot do his fucking job properly...

This might be the first time, I am at the "I'm going to kill that stupid cunt" level of being friendly...

And it's not his fault, that he's new. :alexjonesyelling:

@NEETzsche @lina @errante
Yeah, sure. I am sure it is amazing once you get to use it.

I am just trying to explain, why the old line of "this distro is just like windows" or "you just have to learn to use the terminal" are based on an absolute misunderstanding of just how deep the gap of understanding can really be.

@NEETzsche @lina @errante
It is this kind of fundamental restructuring of basic logic, that makes Linux into a fucking nightmare. Not some shit like mouse cursor being gray instead of white, or tracert being called traceroute.

@NEETzsche @lina @errante
Dude, I don't mind using command line.
I grew up on Dos. I know how to write shit.

The problem is deeper. And file system is the best example. You can read commands all day, or use the GUI, but nothing will help, if you don't even know what fucking disk you're on.

@lina @NEETzsche @errante
You don't need the command line to install shit. That is a solved issue, since there are programs for installing programs.

But also, I am not a grandma. I need to actually use the system, not just start firefox and open e-mail.

@lina @NEETzsche @errante
I am talking about the stupid "Distro x is pretty much a windows copy" line.

And yes, obviously I was referring the old ubuntu. But the UI is the least important part of the jumping OS.

@lina @NEETzsche @errante
No...
NO...
They are not the same, AND the average programmer isn't shaking from even thinking about linux because the task bar is on the left instead of down.

@errante @lina @NEETzsche
I am trying to switch, because I am tired of: "Well, out middle manager number 35 decided, that average user likes candy crush, so we installed it to your PC without asking."

@NEETzsche
Finally, thank you.
Why the fuck didn't every single video on the topic begin by this exact sentence?

@NEETzsche
Also, that kinda doesn't explain the structure or why the entire thing isn't structured by disk.

And OBVIOUSLY.... all the videos on the topic begin and end by naming the folders in root directory, and saying what kind of files they contain without going into the logic. MADNESS!!!!

@lina @NEETzsche
Man is about as instructive to average user as dripping an apple is descriptive of gravitational mechanics.

If you know, it might seem obvious, but if you don't know, it's just a falling apple, not a measurable example of applied force that is constant, and applies to objects outside of the atmosphere with wildly different results...
