You can’t do as much damage with a GUI that tells you what you’re doing in regular language vs commands.

sudo rm -rf /* means nothing to a newbie

“Reset to factory settings” is pretty freaking clear

The difference is that the touch screen stuff was a more dumbed down experience, not an increase in difficulty and options.

Then you have the security issue that comes from teaching users they should just trust whatever random people tell them to do when facing an issue with their computer.

Oh so I should quit my job because I need to use Excel because our tools are Excel based programs, that’s what you’re saying?

Dual boot: and we still come back to my tip being useful

Office: I look at my job and most of our tools are Excel based programs, you can’t use Libre Office or other alternatives to open an Excel sheet full of macros and thousands of lines of code and expect it to work

Some people need to use certain programs for work that just don’t exist on Linux, some people play games with anti cheat that will require developer support in order to work on Linux (which might never happen). Hell, Libre Office is nice and all but if you’re dealing with someone who uses Microsoft Office and it’s a professional setting you don’t have a choice, you need to use Microsoft Office because although you can save files in the right format, when they reach their destination the formatting will probably be completely fucked.

I’m so tired of Linux users acting like they know better than others what their needs are.

Is nudity part of an amendment? I think not!

Some people can’t use an alternative OS, in which case, my tip applies.

Create throwaway account that will never be used except for Windows 11 install and go on with your day, tada!

Our Pyrenees would get in my way if I was walking towards the lake when I was a baby, if I managed to get too close he would pick me up by the pants and bring me back home.

I’ll never accuse Tesla of being managed by competent people 🤷

That’s the number they sent, we don’t know the sales dates on those so maybe they were just super bad at submitting the paperwork…

Well that’s an hot take…

It used to be the norm that people would work their whole career in the same place… Hell, if I had started where I’m working now back in my 20s I would probably have worked for the same employer until I retire…

Pretty much the norm for office work if we’re being honest…

People who have never worked a job where the tasks are the same every day probably don’t understand how nice time off can be because you can just disconnect completely. Reverse is true as well, people who have never had a job with ongoing projects can’t understand how stressful it can be to go on vacation…

I used to have a job like my first example (repetitive tasks, no long term projects) and being able to leave for a whole month without caring about what happens at work… Damn it felt great.

Not only that, the ongoing discussion format means all knowledge is in the same place and people don’t need to keep asking the same question over and over by creating new posts and you don’t end up with the same conversation happening in three different branches of the same post like on Reddit/Lemmy.

Interesting, the basement ceiling must be pretty far outside the ground otherwise that requires a pretty deep hole! Around here is usually 6’ deep compared to ground level with ~2’ above ground and a slab with only the main drain under the slab…

Oh, crawl spaces are pretty rare further north because you need to be under the freezing level of the ground anyway so people have basements.

That’s what I used the last time I rebuilt a toilet, A++, would scrub a reservoir again

So you want a basement on dirt? So you can’t use the space for anything?
