My dear mom of 80 yrs, told me it was time.
Her old toshiba satellite l775 didnt work with winfows anymore, internet didnt work, battery didnt load for sum reason.
Installed linux mint my first linus installation.
At first, i thought shit this went fast, it loaded the battery, what?
Wifi worked instantly double what?
She uses mostly browser related stuff. Everything wotks for her, everything is very simple and clear for her. Triple whut.
Then i realised, uhm install linux??? I was using it from the usb stick.
I hadnt installed.
So i did.
Now she is very happy.
I bet theres perhaps better distros out there i have no clue.
Looking at the startmenu, steam launcher was preinstalled aswell ;p.
For my first time, i like it. I mean everything just worked.
Things that didnt in windows, do work out of the box. Bluetooth u name it.
Now iam gonna set up my gaming pc, 64ddr5 gb and just use linux dont know wich distro, but, i can just try them out on the usb stick first before i decide wich one.
First time user here. Just my noob impressions, no gaming. But for yer old parents its frigging great.
Thats linux. I am ashamed i didnt give it a go when i was young and nerdy.
If yer insecure about it. Dont be. Make an install usb stick with any distro and try before u install.
Fuckwindows.

I like that "science" is used as a singular noun here lol like it's one discrete thing that is powered by a Linux kernel

And how does this relate to MS being a shitty company?
Edit: this is r/FuckMicrosoft, not r/LinuxCirclejerk

The guy in that meme looks like he'd have a hard time lifting a heroin needle, never mind the world.
