Some advice for anyone who is seriously considering a move away from Windows:
ย
For reference, there's a lot of diversity among people running Linux, from software developers to secretaries, from children to octogenarians. I imagine it's easier for kids, since they don't have as much to un-learn, but the Grandparents in my family switched to it from Windows and didn't want to go back. If they can do it, I think it's fair to say that many others can, too.
I think it's now overstated how "different" Linux is. I switched to Mint about a year ago and there is basically zero learning curve right out the box.
This is the most sane run down I've seen on Lemmy in regards to Linux. Thank you for this.

uses busybox so I can um actually your um actually
lol... apparently 4chan has entered the chat.
I saw the memes before I actually watched the talks. They explained how my beloved vidya games were becoming more and more hostile to users (Stallman's talks were never specifically about games, just software in general).
