- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

You don't really get it.
You learned one platform to power user level, and now you think every other platform needs to be exactly identical or it is BAD BAD BAD.
Non-power-users never get so stuck in the dirt that they can't even find their way out. You press the share button and entirely give up because there's "too many icons" for you, and instead you go digging through the file system, because on Windows 95 that's what you'd do.
It's the same thing for all your complaints.
And here is where you are really wrong: Looking through a list of apps in the share menu to find the correct one is not comparable at all with having to read Arch Wiki articles to just get basic functionality like sleep/hibernate or GPU drivers working.
Or to put it differently: How much time does an average Android user spend with getting the GPU of their phone working?
Your whole argument is nothing but a tantrum.
Lol. No, you don't really get the very thing you pose to be teaching:
Same way they aren't expected to learn Linux, same way any switch requires finding out how things are done and what works for you. I have no problem navigating yet another environment, and your stance is just bullshit pretense that switching to Linux is somehow more problematic than switching to anything else
I will repeat my argument:
How much time does an average Android user spend troubleshooting their GPU driver?
And I will not answer, because have no wish to listen to your tantrums
No, but because answering this question would prove that learning a keyboard shortcut is not the same as learning how to use CLI, config files and debugging.
Boo-hoo, you dealt with something on Linux. Cry me a river
Well, actually no. I have more interesting things to do
Thank you for proving their point.
Pft. The point being "aaah, I had some difficulty, oooh, Linux haaard". What a reasonable way to look at things (sarcasm)
