  • That’s true and not true at the same time. The one advantage Windows has in this regard is that everyone is working on the same “distro” as it were. With Linux the various components can vary enough to be confusing. I think that is why it’s important to choose a distro with a sizeable community.

    Something like Ubuntu, or an arch derivative like endeavouros are a good choice for that reason.

It would essential be a system of slavery where, through consumption of entertainment, the slaves will live their servitude”
