Why do Americans think you need to carry a debt to build credit? That is the opposite.

I put EVERYTHING on credit card, and pay everything off on time. Never missed a payment. My credit score was the highest it can be by the time I turned 21. I’ve never paid a penny in fees or interest.

Most average people are afraid of the command line, and really want a GUI for everything. Many of these people’s first exposure to Linux could scare them away depending on the distro they happened to choose, I think.

Or it’s the fact the community is so toxic?

Every computer, doesn’t matter brand or hardware, never works 100% out of the box on Linux. Doesn’t matter which distro.

You ask online, and people scream at you to run terminal commands or go back to Windows.

You run a terminal command that breaks your system, and people blame you for running random terminal commands…

You go back to Windows, and people say “Linux is so friendly, you don’t even have to touch the terminal anymore if you really don’t want to!”

Rinse and repeat.

Linux - I can’t run that software.

Linux - I can’t run that hardware, the drivers are for Windows/Mac only.

Linux mobile - I have the performance and depth of a diaper full of shit. (cough, cough²)

This company can’t stop starting new projects and putting their current ones on the back burner. Their services are all spread out between multiple operating systems. Want proton drive app? Better use Windows. Want the new proton mail app? Better use iOS. Want anything? Better not use Linux.

Wish it was. The Linux community shitting on Windows is worse.
