i get a little annoyed at posts that start with broad statements like “is linux actually ready for the average user?” but then it’s just someone asking for help to fix a problem they have with their sources.list or whatever. it’s not a massive problem, but it’s misleading and it feels borderline inflammatory sometimes

please tell when you’re asking for help

    Seriously, as someone who has been using linux as their daily driver since 2000, I find it pretry amusing.

        Linux feels so mainstream to me now. Some days I’m temped to switch to OpenBSD or something ;)

          Sometimes I think about doing this, but then I remember that Linux is not my hobby these days, it’s my productivity platform.

      Same here - daily driving Linux at home for at least 25 years now. I’m not a gamer, but for all the things I do, Linux has worked perfectly fine.
