    One of my main problems with Linux is the obsessive amount of text things have to learn or understand it, I have to sig around online for someone who doesn’t say rtfm because the manual is extremely long and it’s usually a pretty small easy problem. Or I find someone who has the problem and no response or a response that doesn’t work in the current version. It took me a couple of days to setup my home Linux entertainment system because of these reasons.

    Accessibility matters,it’s good to have proper documentation and it also good to make it accessible to everyone and not just the hardcore Linux people.

    One of the things I had problems with is with my laptop turning off my external display with the lid was closed, took me a couple of days to find it was in some text file in systemd instead of idk in the power settings?

    Linux is hard and it’s not user friendly. But better then Windows for me at least, mainly because Linux has more accessibility options now then windows.














  • Be extremely overtly kind and nice to them, apologies for every single thing and do it over and over again, don’t take there bait, most customers do it because there taking it out on someone they don’t know or they are privileged and it confuses a lot of them when you don’t get angry or mad at them.

    Usually works for me. Not always though but confusing them with the opposite of what they expect is always entertaining for me though
