    Linux users when somebody can open their browser and go to a website without 36 lines in the terminal, 40 minutes of troubleshooting, and 3 reinstallations of Wine:

      most linux distros come with a browser, and barely need terminal use (although literally terminals are so easy to use). no normie browser requires troubleshooting for normie activities. wine is not the problem, proprietary software is.

      try linux mint, for example. very easy to dual boot, and easy to learn coming from windows. active userbase too

      Yes, and I love it that way.

      So what you’re saying is that A) Linux distros doesn’t have web browsers installed by default B) it is impossible to install a web browser with GUI and 3 clicks in Linux C) there exists no Linux binaries for web browsers so you absolutely need to run then in Wine?

      Huh, would you look at that. I’ve been using Linux for decades and learn something new about it still…

        No, I think they were doing something called a “joke” which you missed. Sorry to say, but you wasted your effort with this comment since you missed it.

        I’m pretty sure that guy is a Linux user and making a joke about the perception of Linux

          In that case I’ll allow myself the honor of wooshing myself.

          To be fair, it reads exactly like some of the things I’ve heard from Linux haters, so kudos to OP for a realistic portrayal.

        Hey, I thought Linux was just for the smart people, why am I using it and yet my IQ is in the Celsius room temperature range? That’s not right I want my 0.00€$¥ refund!
