Like I’m not getting ahead no matter how hard I try

They don’t want to at all but I’ve chained them to the desk and propped their eyes open clockwork orange style. They have no choice but to watch me remove Windows
No, I’m putting a gun to their head and they will use Linux. /s
I have gotten a few comments like these, not sure why some of you are getting the idea that this is a forced switch lol
Your memes are cancer.
If you’re American, this may be why. 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level.

You are seeing the effect of America’s deeply rooted culture of anti-intellectualism and the decades-long Republican crusade to gut the public schooling system.
Hexbear is a leftist instance. People interpret any criticism of Democrats as coming from the right instead of the left.
Also, Hexbear refers to both Dems and Republicans as liberals. In the US, “liberal” usually only refers to social liberalism. The definition of liberalism elsewhere in the world includes liberal conservatism.
I wonder what actual Chinese people think, anyone originally from China able to weigh in?
Bingo!
They wanted to give it a try so win-win for both of us if they end up liking it.
Awesome, thanks for this! Looks promising, I’ll check it out.
Oops, thank you for the heads up!

You are reading into this post a bit too deeply and inferring a lot of things from my post that I never said. I am not forcing my partner into this and they have not expressed disinterest.
Why not just try to get it to run on your machine?
I wanted to gauge the level of effort involved first. I easily can sink hours into tinkering something and getting it to eventually work but sometimes it isn’t worth it.
That’s a good and sadly realistic point.
I read a forum post back in the day about a guy that forced his wife and kids to use FreeBSD and they hated it. It was pretty funny but I also don’t want to be that guy
Makes sense. I don’t know why, but I somehow read the original comment to mean that Americans were randomly dead on the side of the road, sans car. Lol
Why are they dying on the roads?
Who gives a shit what people wear? Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it should be banned. People like to cry about the nanny state and then go all in for regulating things that personally offend them yet ultimately cause no harm.
Haven’t been back to Reddit. It’s going great. Mostly I am relieved I don’t have to see that fucking Jesus ad anymore.
Interesting, thanks for the link - at the very least, things are trending upwards so fingers crossed we are through the worst of it for the time being. Which is probably 8-10 years, it is cyclical.
This is aimed at the person i originally responded to. General thoughts about about political agendas couched in loaded language below. Nothing is apolitical, and everyone has an agenda. The key is to figure out what it is.
“Worst recession since 2008” is one of those phrases that sounds almost like the economy is just as bad as 2008, but actually doesn’t mean much of anything.
For demonstrative purposes I’ll use some arbitrary numbers here.
If we rated the 2008 recession at an 10/10 on the badness scale, rated any recession between 2009-2022 as a 2/10 at the most, and rated the current recession we’re in at say, a 4 - I could say that this is the worst recession since 2008, and it would not be untruthful.
Language is deceptive.
Yeah that stopped on 09/12/2001.
