You haven’t used Linux until you’ve accidentally destroyed your install. Reversible damage like uninstalling your shell or breaking your display server counts as partial credit.
It’s not bad, and it used to be one of the only noob-friendly distro’s, but things have improved since then. Upstream Debian has gotten easier to install and Fedora has become the best starter distro imo.
But Linus Sex Tips said linux is bad, bro! I tried Ubuntu one time like 10 years ago and it wasn’t Windows, so now I hate Linux bro
him accidentally uninstalling gnome shell in the process of installing steam was so fucking good dude
Lmfao “yes, do as I say”

I once managed to destroy my system by doing dumb shit with the partition table in cfdisk and lead to a new warning being added
I have used Linux so many times. The funniest is probably when I neglected to add a network manager on my first attempt at an Arch install.
LTT has been pretty positive about linux and recommend it a lot. Although that is more thanks to Emily than Linus.
okay… TIL that Linus Tech Tips is not by Linus Torvalds.
I’m like why tf would he not promote his own system…
A big part of the POINT of Linux is that it’s open source rather than proprietary, making it not his system nor his responsibility to promote it…
It can’t even wun micwodowt owwice :(
It can’t even run [popular proprietary software]! How am I supposed to [action which can be performed with FOSS]?
I switched most of the software I used daily to FOSS cross platform alternatives that ran on Linux. It made the switch a lot easier.
Yeah, that makes it easier.
Literally what everyone tells me: I tried it 8 years ago and it sucked (used really weird distro or Ubuntu)
