    yeah i just watched a girl in our class group chat trying to run a windows installer on a mac

    things like these remind me why linux won’t become popular

      well if people stick to the proper linux way of doing things (official software repos) then that’s actually closer to what they are used to doing (apple app store) than just randomly downloading installers off the internet

      linux should be a relatively easy switch for most people.

        I will have to disaggree on that, i can see your point but that is only if they had someone to manage thier system until they get the hang of it, otherwise they will jump back to what they were comfortable using.

        Be it mac, windows or a phone
