Thank you! I’m a staunch believer that most of you don’t think about how much prior knowledge you need just to be able to use Linux, let alone not break things.

Also though, you have to consider not all gamers are tech savvy, and your “generic fixes” through terminal would immediately make some of them have a quit moment.

I think Linux users forget the amount of base knowledge that they had to learn in order to simply use their software proficiently sometimes.

I for one welcome the ability to:

• play flash games,
• Games without launchers or not on steam
• Run vortex, wemod, obscure mod installers without winetricks that are more hassle than they’re worth (if they work at all)
• Literally just not have to find workarounds for everything I want to do that isn’t through steam that adds another hour of research and installation to the process.

You may now begin the downvotes. (Even if you’re wrong I respect your opinions)

oops, i dropped this link well, dont wanna risk picking it up and getting a fine

I said “tech illiterate”, most people on here are going to primarily be using Firefox and other smaller competitors, but in the main stream world like it or not chrome is still huge

I have to disagree, edge has been a big ol’ joke since it’s conception, most non tech literate people see it and go, huh, okay time to download chrome.

Most tech literate people don’t like it for the myriad of other problems, i can’t think of a single scenario where edge dominates the market

I promise you that unequivocally will not happen

I would like lemmy as a whole to know more of this comic. Hell, the entire tech and coding space. Look, i love tech but some of you guys can be absolute bellends to people not knowing something and it turns plenty of people off from even learning.

My brother in Christ maybe they want to learn, some people are neurodivergent and they don’t pick up new information as easily the first go around

Sorry rant over

I mean, use for 10 years by what metric? A woodworker is gonna block up that filter in a few months, someone who works in a hospice might get a few years, and triage nurses might burn through them in half that simply due to moving fast. Also I think 10 years might be a bit of a stretch in general, I’ve never known a mask filter to last that long in any model I’ve used

Dude what are you even trying to say here
