Unfortunately it looks like 2025 will not be the year of the linux desktop.

based femcel shitting on loonixtards, a stacey would probably break up with you the moment you gave her the ick by saying something so autistcoded like "erm akschually i use loonix on my pc, because its gnu and fsf approved"
>>
>>106532202
I think it might be an issue related to females. Ex gf broke her installation two times trying to get fucking steam out of all things working. Apparently I magically installed Flatpak + Steam after that because "it wasn't working before when she tried it". And no I'm not a tech genius either, otherwise I wouldn't use Flatpak, my point is that even a retard like me can properly use troonix without any issue.
I don't even know. I miss her. She installed win7 on her own after that. Smart enough to reinstall and switch from OS and not to fucking install flatpak. I miss her.

did you give her arch+gnome or some shit like that?

This nigga is stupid. Bitches are not equals, faggot: give her Windows or Mac if you can afford it, you broke ass.

>installing linux on anyone else pc
I don't do that even if explicitly requested because if you can't do that much by yourself linux isn't for you. I had a gf that installed ubuntu on a laptop by hersef but she did so because got that laptop without os and was not insightful enough to figure out how to crack the windows activation (which speaks measures on how fucking retard proof is the ubuntu installation procedure), nor she wanted to spent money on a license (and wasn't aware you can buy them dirt cheap on ebay).

Retards don't understand linux is a completely different OS with different ways to install and manage software. I blame goytubers that constantly shit out "gayming distro" videos.
>>
>>106533644
Windows users trying to migrate to linux are usually married to a couple of proprietary apps that aren't available on linux, so they complain when they have to adapt.
>wtf do you mean outlook isn't on linux, I have to use thunderbird?!?! Dogshit OS, fuck you autist!!!
Ironically for the simple stuff linux is way easier to use. Most normie distros have everything they need preinstalled but they run into issues when they try installing some random github project from 2011 to try and make cinnamon's start menu more like windows xp.
>>
>>106533772
Non existent problem if you have even 2 braincells and truly want your SO to use linux.

Basically create a .desktop or something with the outlook icon and make it launch chromium as a webapp on the outlook URL, congrats you now have outlook on linux.
>>
>>106532202
how long have you had an LLM as a girlfriend?
>>
>>106532202
Has something to do with expectations.
My ex was a complete computer dyslexic, didn't know shit about computers, only had a laptop to watch Netflix in bed, didn't know how to do anything else with it. Wanted an upgrade, wanted it to be faster, so I installed Linux Mint. Was completely happy with it until I dumped her. Probably still uses it.
Someone who knows nothing about computers will not know if they're using Windows or Linux, as long as the UIs look similar.
>>
>>106533832
>Anon your dumb troonix broke again!
>What? Yeah, I uninstalled that faggy chrome knock off with the blue logo because I wanted the real version of chrome.
>>
>>106534080
If your computer usage doesn't go beyond opening a web browser and maybe sometimes opening notepad to write a grocery list then something like ubuntu or mint is pretty much bulletproof. Even installing steam and running 97% of games without any issue is the same exact steps you'd perform on windows. People are just afraid of using something that might be different.
>>
>>106534114
That's why I said to create a .desktop file with the Outlook icon and launch args for a webapp.
They can use whatever else browser they want.
>>
>>106532202
>fix OS
By uninstalling it and replacing it with something else?
>>
>>106534154
Are you going to set this up for all your friends and family for every computer they own and customize everything for their liking? Why bother? Let the sheep suffer on windows and shitty android tablets if they have no interest in figuring out things for themselves.
>>
>>106534176
My original argument was that if one TRULY wanted their SO to use Linux, it would be trivial to use the web version of whatever stupid electron app they use in their day to day life, for those rare exceptions that there isn't even a flatpak version at least.
I don't expect someone to do this for everyone as a means of evangelizing people to linux, just saying that it's not that difficult to make the experience as painless as possible for someone close to you, if you're really adamant about them using it.
>>
>>106534218
Why force them to use it if they aren't interested?
>>
>>106533000
this
>>
>>106534234
I'm not advocating for forcing people to use Linux, this entire chain was me replying to someone who said
>when people are lacking X app they throw a fit and refuse to adapt, so they end up hating you and calling you autistic
If one wanted to really go out of his way to make the experience as close as possible, i shared ways to do it, that's it. Use winblows, troonix, fagOS, whatever you want I don't care, just engaging with hypotheticals.
>>
>>106534262
Fair. I just don't see a point in people trying to migrate people to linux only for them to make it as much like windows as possible.
>>
>>106534288
I see a lot of point to it, wean people off the Microsoft lockdown teat, introduce them to alternatives slowly.
Anything that takes market share away from Windows is a victory, we don't need to be elitist by implying that using a UI similar to windows, or using linux in a similar way to windows is a problem, we need to just embrace that the way to get linux better is to have more people using it, therefore more attention from companies who throw money at stuff.

I view it simply as a way to avoid tinkerfucking. When my wife was still in school, it was either deal with her AIDS infested windows laptop that never fucking worked right or repurpose an old laptop, throw Ubuntu on it, and lock it down with only Libreoffice, Chromium, printing, and our house WiFi, that's it. Type in your fucking papers, save your drafts, etc, when done, submit them and print a copy and put it in this folder so you have a failsafe hardcopy. I'm not your fucking IT department, I'm just trying to get you through the next 10 months so you can languish in an office job forever just like you wanted.

I showed this to an biological woman and she said this is fake, gay, and likely Indian.

Man and Female both type the same way, and like teenagers. No one in real life says "babe". Classic Indian pretending to be a woman style. Try again next life saar

Yes, why doesn't it work like a machine that works? Retard. You are retarded

Problem ended up being firefox....
I'll probably just move her back to mint and install Bluedevil again. She quite litteraly only uses it for uni and set her up with chrome.

>>106532481
I had her using mint but blueman is a piece of shit so I installed Bluedevil and it worked and I figured "why not just give her kde, looks closer to windows anyway and fedora had good driver support (allegedly)"
>>106534725
It wasn't for some altruistic free software crusade. Her shit brick of an azus took fucking forever to load a website in chrome.
