Follows the perspective of an older person, one that (more to the point) is more normie than geek;
Windows has been trying to kick me out for years now, they finally succeeded. O.K., research.
Ubuntu = trendy, everyone, apps apps apps, looks like a MAC user’s wet dream, i hear they now gather and send info too, i stop reading right there. So long folks, never met you.
Debian = bleeding edge!!! Wow! How eXXXtreme! Even has an expiration date! Pwnage111! O.K., i get it, i stop reading. So long folks, never met you.
Mint = Windows user, start here (to be read: morons, start here [yes, i am]). O.K., i’ll do that.
Except this is all to escape the Windows “experience” right? And now i’m seeing Windows Automatic Updates, sorry, i meant Update Manager; i’m seeing Windows System Restore, sorry, i meant Timeshift, i’m seeing Windows-featured, sorry, i meant pre-installed “apps”.
So i stop there. So long, never really met you.
More searching ensues! Is this not fun? I mean you just want to work amirite? So what could be better than not working!?
Arch is someday, i’ll drown in it right now. Manjaro seems too close to eXXXtreme, so am thinking nuh. Antergos seems just my thing! Can it be?
Wish me luck, because so far i’ve found nothing to complain about it. So far.
And during all this, i realised it’s the users. Which of course isn’t a surprise given our nature, so why are you even discussing this.
Because i find it funny that given aaaall the tools, they went and made something that from my perspective, has absolutely zero reason to exist in the first place. What value there might have been, they went out of their way to mask or obfuscate it by emulating ‘the enemy’, as they see it.
Which is ridiculously amusing ^^
Anyway, just an old fart’s perspective, ignore and continue
