I said "you" generic as a knowledgeable person.
The people you are talking about didn't install windows either. I'm talking about comparing apples and apples.
There is no more difficulty installing or using windows or Linux, but in Linux there are less problems.
Starlink needs regulatory permission in every county they provide signal to.
You start with any mainstream distro. Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Mint and the like.
The differencea between them aren't relevant to a new user.
You install whatever you are comfortable with to be able to help them.
Is there something like Reddit "mademesmile" group? This really belongs there.
He will be remembered and revealed by the people who received his wisdom about how to spew sceptic tank around.
His death will inspire all the other sceptic men, and women.
I put that in quotes because geeksquad sometime gets called to literally just connect cables and show the client where the power button is.
And my point is not to blame the clients. My car mechanic may be laughing about me taking the car to do things I can do my self in 5 minutes.
The point is that windows isn't easier. It just has more readily available support and people who start using windows are OK calling someone.
People starting with Linux think that if they find an obstacle, "that's it, Linux bad", instead of paying someone to solve it.
On your last point about it being easier to do a side task while in a meeting. It is annoying that when someone is talking about something important and then they ask someone else in the meeting:"What is your team doing about it?", invariably the response is "doing about what? Can you repeat the question?" Delaying and extending meeting time.
Or later asking questions about what was said in the meeting. Really annoying.
And by the way, probably all of us have at some point been the distracted one.
No, I'm trying to understand why someone would store so many pictures. 20TB is enough for 330 4K movies or 10,000 1080P movies.
"Just in case I need it" is the principle of hoarding.
Music we listen to many times but it barely uses any space for today's standards.
Streaming TV is always something different, so, no point in storing it.
And movies? There may be a few favourites we watch again and even if they were 4K wouldn't use that much space. 20TB is space enough for 330 4K 2 hour movies! Or 10,000 1080P movies. Let's say that your job is to watch movies 8 hours a day. That's 4 movies per day, that's 500 weeks to watch 10,000 movies. Or 10 years (if you take a two week vacation every year). And that's without repeating.
Let's say you have 100 favourite movies that you like to watch on demand on 4 K (really an exaggeration) you only need 6 TB.
Si, my question stands.
The real question is:
How do people have so much media to fill up those drives?
Followed by: how do people have so much time to watch that media?
Followed by: human driven climate change is real. How can people waste energy just to hoard media that they rarely ever see again?
I understand somehow if you are torrenting and contributing to the sharing ecosystem, but just hoarding?
Again. Have you used Fedora, Mint, Ubuntu?
Regular people get help with basic stuff in windows All the time. That's why there is a Geek Squad in best buy. That's probably the only thing missing for the non technical Linux users.
If people are paying someone to "install" their printer, why would it be different with Linux.
In fact, in Linux they'd need less tech support as many windows users calls are for slowness, virus and obsolescence.
Let's not compare usability using different standards
I have a problem believing he thought is wholesome. to celebrate violence or lack of empathy.
