I mean, I thought it was a glorious confusion.

Hundreds of billions! Of micropennies! Aaaaaaaaah!
I have this fear that we won't even be able to trust fruits and vegetables. The most common food contaminations in the news always seem to be unwashed lettuce and such, which makes sense because of fertilizers.
Listen, the brisket doesn't need the sauce, because unless you're a weenie you get the moist... but ribs should be fucking dipped in that divine nectar.
The line about the library card is what drives me up the wall. It's ridiculous how tough it is to get in some places. You want a freaking utility bill?!? I'm renting a room, for fuck's sake. That isn't just a texas problem though, because I know florida was just as stupidly difficult.
I think it's overblown for the most part. Yes, the OS should just work... but it does, for 99% of users, on windows, and linux, and probably macos, which I haven't used so can't speak on.
The ones who blow up their systems are either techies who like futzing with stuff, or are using a 'bad' distro for their needs. If you're switching over granny, you set her up with a long term stable kernel, a vanilla distro, and a browser. The few other stories are when people switch from windows and want something specialized to be the same. Those will need a customized solution, but it's not much different than windows when something breaks. Whoever is playing IT gets to poke at a stupid amount of settings, registry edits, or esoteric drivers/dependencies.
Makes you wonder if they use the actors' rehearsals, just have the interns pretend to do a play by reading a script and doing some motions, book an acting troupe's time, or buy out a theater that's having an actual performance.
I just want to make sure I'm hearing you right on this... 1/5? Where is that number coming from?
How common is the story of “I was new to linux and completely broke it”?
Gee, it's common even for 'experienced' folks. I just went to update to the 6.14 kernel this morning (everything that I use [and monitor for conflicts] was supposedly finally working with it), and apparently that didn't play well with my desktop manager. Cue the tty at boot and trying different DMs until I finally said screw it and went back to the previous kernel.
It's not a big deal, just one of those things that was jarring to read because I knew I had heard it differently in the past. It's more irritating to me that I knew the 'open heart surgery' thing well, and hadn't heard about this. Shows what some people are concerned with.
This wasn't the first open heart surgery... opening/repairing the pericardium is not open heart surgery. Even in the wikipedia article, it specifically says "heart surgery." In the cited sources from wikipedia, the listed first 'open heart surgery' isn't until 1952.
I knew something was weird when I read your title, because that and the machine for heart-lungs in 1953 are always taught as huge leaps.

It was soy, if I remember correctly. Bloody rats weren't even the issue for me, it was the squirrels!
That and dragon age as an elf were wonderful, because you play through as the 'superior' race (dark elf / human for morrowind/dragon age) first and don't even realize how fucked up it can be. Each time I just happened to play that order and it was amazing.
