Whenever a boomer shows me a 15 year old computer, and asks: can you just delete a few programs to make the computer faster:

Yes, I know I could delete the windows, and make let it run on Linux, but that is not something they would accept anyway.

@LukeAlmighty One thing I've noticed that most people are very particular about is that they get to keep their programs. They don't want to learn some equivalent to, say, Excel. It must actually be Excel. There can be no comparison. And in their mind, any difference between Excel and whatever equivalent there is, is a flaw.

Windows is the correct path you see, and any deviation from that is by definition a flaw. You can replace Windows with whatever normie equivalent we're talking about in computing. A commercial streaming service for music that competes with Spotify we'll need to work exactly like Spotify in order to merit consideration. Even the slightest user experience difference will be considered a faux pas

I just want to understand, why the fuck are all devices using such weird naming convention and how to work with it...

And to have a total control over installation locations.

And to understand the user rights management.

Or... fuck it, learning to use Linux is a vertical line. :alexjonesfight:

A lot of the time you don’t get those controls unless you really dig in. Installation locations are just all over the place on Loonix
