I've always believed Linux offers real value for various tasks, just like other operating systems. When it comes to browsing the web, the bootloader for your browser is what matters most. I often encounter individuals who mistakenly think Linux is just for geeks and that using it means you're not good enough. That attitude is frustrating. People should feel free to choose any browser they prefer. I've also noticed this mindset among those who modify their phones with custom ROMs. It seems the tech community needs to take a stand and prevent such negative views from spreading online.
because most everyday activities really slow down on Linux. gaming? you’ll likely spend time fixing issues before the game runs. office work? hope LibreOffice works well. I use both Libre and Microsoft Office, but Libre feels like a joke compared to older versions. photo editing? it’s okay with the options you have. it’s not a harsh judgment or a complaint about Linux users—it’s just a sad reality: the main reason Linux hasn’t become mainstream yet is that compared to Windows or Mac, the daily experience of using Linux on a real computer isn’t very appealing. I have Linux setups for media use, a laptop, a server, and more. Server? fine. Desktop? I wish it were better.
Everyone should be free to share their thoughts openly, you can either respond to it or simply overlook it, but blocking never works. Also, it’s unclear how to extract “right wing” from discussions about operating systems—people often bring politics into every subject. Thanks for the edit!
It's not everyone, but I understand why some quickly criticize things they don't grasp. For instance, I build my own cars mainly for personal enjoyment, not profit. Yet some claim this is only for those who can't afford a shop. Such attitudes appear everywhere, and I've learned to overlook them.
Linux requires some time for setup, typically around eight minutes. What cost do you incur for a Windows upgrade? Regarding LibreOffice, it’s straightforward and functions well, offering more capabilities than Microsoft Office. Can you modify PDFs in Office applications? Is there a database available within Office tools? Lo handles documents, spreadsheets, presentations, plus additional features. PDF editing? I’ve completed hundreds of them and can direct you to relevant sites. Photo editing varies based on desired results, but suitable apps can handle most needs. The main challenge is understanding available options and selecting the best fit. There’s a helpful discussion board for Mint where such queries are addressed, with suggestions offered regularly. Monthly, I perform several photo edits for articles on publications and websites. Installing apps is quick—usually just one click in the repository, with a password if needed. Downloading a DEB package differs slightly; it requires entering a password after installation. Creating a new folder in Linux is simple, just two clicks. Windows generally takes about five clicks, though it may require a few more steps. If it takes a long time and many updates, Linux might be faster—though I haven’t encountered that. How many Linux installations have you performed? Over 50, with the oldest being a 2008 HP that I used last week. Boot time was slow—44 seconds, but it was from a dead battery that needed recharging.
Windows - Right click and select the menu, scroll down to New, choose Another menu, click New Folder, confirm with three clicks, then scroll down.
The process is straightforward and doesn’t require extra steps. Just move the mouse to expand the list, and don’t worry about scrolling. On Linux, you also need to click the mouse pointer at the desired location before selecting "new." This avoids confusing comparisons between platforms.
