It is a matter of education, it must be taught from a young age.
What if they hate it though? I think most who try won’t stick, me included.
the happiness comes from the friends trying it out, if they dont like it, thats completely fine
sums up my sexual experince in life
The couple of people I've got to try it out didn't stick either. But after a few years, they are now switching some old laptops to Linux to keep using them. Which is quite nice to see! It makes me happy just to see people giving Linux a chance, but even happier when they actually get some benefit out of it.
Skill issue /s
c/Linuxmemes would be a better place for this.
Why? Aren't you a linux absolutist as well?
No, I run Linux at home for most things but keep a Windows 10 install for certain games and I work in IT in an Apple/Windows environment.
I really don't think Windows is that bad, sure it's got some aging design choices that never get updated like settings and control panel being a half assed attempt at upgrading, but overall most of the complaints I hear about it are just misunderstandings by Linux absolutists.
I'm not lemmy enough to get this
The hardest part was installing it. Everything after that has been fun and interesting, and my current self would not think installing it was all that hard
