While I’ve been considering buying a brand new PC and mobile phone (for absolutely no reason whatsoever; totally a coinkidink that I considered it at this point in time), I decided to also look up what China’s own operating system was (because obviously they would have their own operating system; why would they make absolutely everything else and NOT make their own operating system?) and I was like ‘ooooh, that looks cool! This Kylin OS!’ only to watch a video expounding on it and revealing it’s a Linux based operating system.

Hexbear Linux users are to China what Israel is to America CMV

I just want a normal operating system where I double click an app to activate or install it, and it has full functionality no ifs and or buts with my OS, and I can rightclick and get all the necessary functionalities of rightclicking.

sudo install better OS

Stupid dressed up DOS like operating system; yeah cause I really want to type up lines of instructions to do what windows can do with a double click; cause I want to spend two hours googling how to install non-Linux compatible software on Linux, and then spend two hours finding out why the solution didn’t work making me feel like Indiana Jones excavating cursed ruins for a treasure you could’ve gotten at Walmart.

    OK I bite. I have used Linux for almost two decades, last decade without dualboot. Got a windows laptop from work, im glad I don’t have to mess with it and just hand it to IT department instead. Seen windows home PCs people use and the absulute horror it is… last time I used windows , and this is the way, at least for people who don’t login on givemeavirus.com, is: Windows AME Chocolatey Hostfile adblock/malwareblock

    At least 70% shit removed.

    Go for that and dualboot it until you are familiar with Linux. Its just a skill issue 😉
