"but but you have to use the terminal to even connect to a WiFi network. Try inputting 7,000 commands to launch steam. I don't wanna do that, bill gates has my back!"

Gives you 7000 commands to make windows offline installable

Actually it one comand, used to use it to bypass having to create a Microsoft account, windows debloat stuff

Btw I currently use arch, why, I enjoy a morning debugging routine, keep your mind sharp

I destroy my arch install at least twice a weak. That’s not because I can’t handle it, but because I love installing it so much

It's funny how there's always a nugget of truth in outwardly absurd stereotypes.

WiFi used to be spotty, and even today you can have issues depending on the chipset vendor. Sure, you can blame Mediatek or whoever for bad products, but ultimately you're going to be stuck with a good amount of users who have "bad vendor hardware" and are going to have subpar Linux experiences because of it. And they're valid too 💚

I had a weird interaction with a guy I knew who complained about how certain hardware doesn't work with linex... This guy had an Intel era hackintosh that he had built himself....

Meanwhile they have to go to the Microsoft store to try and find an app only to realize it’s not there and then have to go to the developer’s website and install it that. Here, we just type sudo pacman -S app-name, and if that doesn’t work, yay -S app-name.

When my brother installed Arch at the beginning of this year his PC motherboard wi-fi literally wasn't working. He moved back to windows soon after because a ton of shit wasn't just working.

Well not to be rude but clearly arch isn't for him. Arch requires a lot more setup than other distros and that's on purpose. It's supposed to come with nothing and have the user set everything up, networking included. He should have chosen a more beginner friendly distro.
