This sentence alone is why Linux is a hard sell for the average person.

You are right. I just checked out gimp.org, and…IS there a single image of the software on that site?

If they want new users, asking them to blindly download software without even a look or maybe a video of new features is not it.

Yeah, every time I have ever tried Gimp, attempting to do anything felt like someone had purposefully been contrarian and made every operation work in the hardest and most confusing way.

And someone may say, “well, you just have to learn it!” OK, sure. Or I can use something that makes much more sense from the jump like Affinity Photo. (Yes, I know you have to pay for it, but it’s worth it. Yes, I know not everyone has the money to do so.)

I see.

So Windows just needs to git gud.

Is that just obfuscated on other platforms (like MacOS)? I don’t think I’ve ever had a Mac get “confused” by a device by changing its port.

Windows is great because if you plug your mouse into one USB port then maybe you move the mouse to another, it completely forgets that mouse ever existed and is like “setting up device!”

Bro, you know what this is.

I definitely care about the opinions of CEOs because it directly lets me know which companies to support or not.

If a CEO is a trash, then I don’t want to give them my money. Simple capitalism, that.
