I disagree with you, I happen to think that the average person is intelligent enough to make an informed decision about their computing. They just have to forgo the learned helplessness that Microsoft and Apple have fostered since the early nineties.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable for someone who is dissatisfied to try a few out. Let’s be clear here, if you’re satisfied, then you’re not going to even think about moving but more and more people are becoming dissatisfied, you can tell by the number of people on Reddit (yes I still lurk Reddit) asking about switching. Also, unless you’re really a geek, it isn’t going to be close to a technical decision - it will be purely gut-feel. I like this one, I don’t like that one.

It’s more like buying a car. Try a few out and settle on the one you like. You can even try them out online at distrosea

There’s certainly a learning curve as it’s a completely different OS. That’s going to take time for sure. The problem is that people are so used to Windows or Mac that they forget they had the same learning curve when they started with whichever one they’re using.

It’s the same process as choosing which loaf of bread you like, or which car. You try a few out and decide which one you like. It’s not hard.

I wonder how these people function in a supermarket

If it’s available over the internet, it’s a target.

No I haven’t. some version of Linux has been my only OS since the early 2000s. You would think that it would be in Microsoft’s interest to make it run well in VMs. Still, I guess it’s just another reason that Windows is crapware.

Or run Windows in a VM if you need it.

It does work flawlessly, or at least I haven’t encountered flaw. Why should I downplay my experience for people like you?

Hell no!

We have to give credit for being able to do both

When we started, none of us had any prior knowledge and quite frankly, if it broke all the time none of us would have stuck with it. It’s the same for people when they started with Windows or Mac OS

I’ve never tried modal vim because I’ve only just heard about it. The next thing I’d try is restarting the computer. Or Ctrl + Q whichever’s easier.

Given OP mentions kebab-case, this is probably about file-systems. But you are absolutely correct about code.

Kebab case with Pascal case in the usual places. I’d change to all kebab case but the muscle memory of typing Documents would nearly kill me.

And yet, here you are posting on it.

The only other thing I can think of is, are you absolutely sure the key is the right type, efi or mbr, depending on how you’re booting?

I do suspect a small but vocal crowd of people will spread doom and gloom about it on social media anyway, of course.

I see they’re here already

Or you can use nmtui if you prefer a graphical frontend

their very liberal customization options

That’s a good point and makes it worth considering
