Linux is easy. Through the latest Fedora dist on an old machine and enjoy.
There’s a reason why Linux is the choice of 90% of systems administrators and 0.02% of non-CS people. You’ve got Linux-user’s disease: the inability to recognize that normal people don’t appreviations like “dist” because they don’t even use words like “distribution.” Normal people don’t know how to yum and certainly don’t know how to pipe a sed. They click and drag, they don’t mv, and when they unpack a program, are completely rendered helpless when they get told they need a dependency.
Linux users are a guild I joined late in life. But what is so lame is how linux users are completely immune to recognizing that they know Linux because they are programmers or system administrators, and not only is there nothing at all intuitive about Linux, but “—help” does not actually teach anything useful to someone who is not themselves a coder.
