I’ve always been envious of people with great social skills. I could accomplish a lot more if I had them. The glasses for sure.

They don’t want to at all but I’ve chained them to the desk and propped their eyes open clockwork orange style. They have no choice but to watch me remove Windows

No, I’m putting a gun to their head and they will use Linux. /s

I have gotten a few comments like these, not sure why some of you are getting the idea that this is a forced switch lol

Your memes are cancer.

I wonder what actual Chinese people think, anyone originally from China able to weigh in?

Bingo!

They wanted to give it a try so win-win for both of us if they end up liking it.

Awesome, thanks for this! Looks promising, I’ll check it out.

You are reading into this post a bit too deeply and inferring a lot of things from my post that I never said. I am not forcing my partner into this and they have not expressed disinterest.

Why not just try to get it to run on your machine?

I wanted to gauge the level of effort involved first. I easily can sink hours into tinkering something and getting it to eventually work but sometimes it isn’t worth it.

Nope

That’s a good and sadly realistic point.

I read a forum post back in the day about a guy that forced his wife and kids to use FreeBSD and they hated it. It was pretty funny but I also don’t want to be that guy

Interesting, thanks for the link - at the very least, things are trending upwards so fingers crossed we are through the worst of it for the time being. Which is probably 8-10 years, it is cyclical.

This is aimed at the person i originally responded to. General thoughts about about political agendas couched in loaded language below. Nothing is apolitical, and everyone has an agenda. The key is to figure out what it is.

“Worst recession since 2008” is one of those phrases that sounds almost like the economy is just as bad as 2008, but actually doesn’t mean much of anything.

For demonstrative purposes I’ll use some arbitrary numbers here.

If we rated the 2008 recession at an 10/10 on the badness scale, rated any recession between 2009-2022 as a 2/10 at the most, and rated the current recession we’re in at say, a 4 - I could say that this is the worst recession since 2008, and it would not be untruthful.

Language is deceptive.

Well, that’s the problem, isn’t it? A company should not be promoting Christmas and then banning any mention of non-christian holidays. Just don’t mention them at all then

Thank you for the heads up. I was considering OpenSUSE bc I am looking for a new distro after Fedora’s telemetry bullshit. Not anymore

This particular post is literally on my front page every day
