New to the Linux community here; why is a valve owned Linux OS better than any other massive company OS. Like if Microsoft released their own Linux OS, would it be good suddenly?

At the end of the day, we don’t want our OS’s big company owned right?

This comment here is peak Linux, and a perfect example of that xkcd comic.

99% of people probably couldn’t even tell you what a syntax is. Let alone how it’s relevant to using Linux

I THOUGHT THAT WAS mf doom FOR A SECOND, HAHA

Legitimately, how do you? Without prior knowledge of the direction you are facing and the sun is right above you or you can’t see it.

Cardinal directions have always been hard for me and I’m only now just starting to use them out of job necessity.

Left and right takes a second most of the time, ask me to look north and it’s going to be a long while.

If I’m somewhere new or lost like op, it’s just cruel to say “go west”

Does lemmy have useless red circle sub yet?

If the product works too well they can’t sell you other stuff! 🥲

Simply put, I need to buy groceries.

It’s not that I will have issues learning or researching, it is that I don’t have the time too.

If the barrier to using Linux is needing to spend time troubleshooting and researching to do simple tasks, I just won’t.

So far this thread has been very enlightening to me, I’m excited to try something new. But my OS is not my hobby.

Oh wonderful! Thank you for the suggestions!

It’s what I got to use in highschool computer class, I’m a sucker for what I know.

I purchased a razor branded Smartwatch, way back when. Thing could barely connect to my phone, it’s battery life was atrocious when it did, and all it did was show the time and track steps. It didn’t have any built-in notifications so you had to use a separate app. This was fairly early in smart watches though, it was pretty fad-esque.

As someone who runs a Windows phone launcher to this day, I think you’re wrong 😂 had they actually pursued them, and supported them better. I think we’d still have Windows phones today, The app store was truly the killer.

This has got to have been satire right? Since the upvotes/down have been blanked, I’m going to assume it had negative ratio
