Man, the lack of a sense of humor in this thread is palpable. Can cut the harrumph with a knife.
When the same belittling joke is retold thousands of times, it tends to lose its edge for all but a few people.
Some people just don't have a sense of humor 🤷♂
I spent the day yesterday trying to get kubuntu to update to the new LTS on a friend's laptop. All because plasma5 was being slow at login. Well, after a few hours, it was finally updated and we spent another 2 trying to find out why plasma6 was now slow.
The whole time I was thinking "why the hell did the update require the command-line" and "this feels like punching myself in the face". I wanted a quiet, productive saturday and spent it on linux instead.
Ubuntu is not ready for non-technical folk in these cases. Without me as support, my friend would've been lost on the "most user-friendly distro".
Linux is amazing tech and the ecosystem built around it is better than windows and mac for many things, but still fails at random, supposedly simple tasks. Yes, windows and mac too, but it's much more visible on linux.
Matt Parker also wrote a linux driver himself! Much respect.

B/c you're using ubuntu. I switched to debian and I don't have to deal with this snap/apt nonsense. In fact I've gained flatpaks in the software UI.
It used to have a graphical updater. I don't know why they did away with it...

It's tempting to crank things up to 11 with virginity jokes. That one always gets the linux spaces roaring.
