I'm so close to being done with #Linux users. They do not understand: if you are comfy with what Linux demands, including command line use, then you are not an Average Computer User.
Let me say it again, louder.
IF YOU ARE COMFORABLE WITH WHAT LINUX DEMANDS OF YOU, YOU ARE NOT AN AVERAGE COMPUTER USER.
Does this speak ill of the Average Computer User? Kinda, yeah. But I'm sick of Linux people thinking they are the benchmark and being snooty about it.

@audreygwinter You're absolutely right.
I personally love my Linux machine, but it definitely calls for skills I developed being a nerdy kid who played with MSDOS machines that were ancient when I got hold of them.
Really wish half as much effort was put into improving GUI support in Linux to make it better for the actual average user as is put into arguing that someone "just" needs to get more comfortable in a CLI.

@squishymage42 Oh my god, thank you for saying that. I've been fighting Linvangelists all day.

@audreygwinter It helps that I had an experience of having my distro have a very old copy of emacs and python in its store and I was forced to install both from the command line.
It was just way harder than say, downloading an exe in Windows and double-clicking it. (Linux has gotten better with things like .deb files being able to do that, but FSF kinda does the snooty "just install guix to install emacs" route... which honestly had me checking if I could stand to go back to vim)
