"You shouldn't be an ass for people's personal choice of tools or software."
and
"Certain tools and software deserve ridicule for being evil"
Can be reconciled. Somewhat.
Like, if someone likes PHP, that's not my problem. If someone uses, say, ChromeOS or god forbid Microsoft Windows as their distro of choice, that's another matter.

@flesh i mean i use windows because i kinda have been using it my entire life before i even learned anything about software and now struggle to migrate to linux because some software doesn't port very well. and also bc i am shit at tech
@mynameistillian@plush.city Yeah, fair, good luck.
@flesh btw are there any good alternatives. i used mint but now i don't wanna cuz the dev team suck massive ass
Linux suggestions
@mynameistillian I'm not @flesh, but: if you're looking for a new hobby, NixOS (or realistically, what comes out of its community fork-wise, like Lix and such) is an interesting option.
If you want something that Just Works, I've noticed that the Pop! OS folks have by far the best attitude when it comes to "if it doesn't work like people expect, that's a bug, even if it was designed that way", but I haven't actually had a reason to *use* it myself so I don't know how far they've gotten from a technical perspective
re: Linux suggestions
@joepie91 @mynameistillian @flesh it's frustrating how many distros that are intended for newcomers are terrible, mint, ubuntu, manjaro, even fedora
re: Linux suggestions
@Ember@blobfox.coffee @joepie91@social.pixie.town @mynameistillian@plush.city Manjaro slander.
Linux suggestions
@joepie91@social.pixie.town @mynameistillian@plush.city I am far from a newcomer, but also don't follow the overall Linux community.
As such, I am not the best person to answer their question. So input from others would be helpful.
