  • eh, depends on the situation.
    I wanted to print a paper. Very simple, right? (cue collective sighs from all I.T.)

    On Windows it’s literally just “find printers on network” -> click mine -> print

    on Linux id’ve had to input like 7 different commands depending on the distro and look through it.

    I tried, got errors, got up, went to the family computer running windows 10, and printed from there.

    There are situations where Linux is easier, but if you’re new to the UI and you Google something like “how to connect to WiFi Linux” (ie what a normal person would) you’ll get command line results that the person doesn’t understand and they’ll just give up











  • So that has been fixed for over a decade.

    they fixed that, but if you are connected to WiFi that blocks steam it will refuse to launch your games even after you disconnect from the WiFi. I think this is to prevent piracy I guess??

    I needed a software that I bought on steam for schoolwork and I couldn’t use it because steam was having a panic attack over my schools wifi. Inst of preventing piracy I went and pirated the software to not have that issue LOL
