@mischievoustomato @koimoa @weeble @coolboymew @sun i went through a period where i went back to windows, but i soon realized that instead of having things a pain to install and setup, other things would be just as frustrating. while i get what the OP users are saying, there is a trade off, and i'd rather not have ever last single thing i do on my PC being logged by microsuck.

@sun @koimoa @weeble @coolboymew @mischievoustomato I think win11 inserted too much 'spyware' or whatever it's called these days. I only used tiny win11 (bcuz my radar detectors' software wouldn't work with wine), but even that had all these widgets and other oddities that just seemed like were there to appeal to normalfaggots.

@sun @koimoa @weeble @coolboymew @mischievoustomato they made some requirements of the file system that made it unnecessarily complex. easy enough if you're installing on a virtual machine or blank hard drive, but if you already have a bootloader and OS, you have to open a book.

@coolboymew @koimoa @weeble @sun @mischievoustomato multiple OS installs are pretty straight forward if you install windows first. because windows tends to vomit over everything, while linux is more precise. after installing windows, you install lilo or grub over the windows bootloader, but i've used the windows bootloader before. it's a little awkward, but doable. although, that was with win7, so i don't know how things have changed.

@wishgranter14 @koimoa @weeble @coolboymew @sun for me, it's that linux, with all its faults, is faster, can be set up how i want (i use nixos lol) and seeing development of it can be exciting. It's not perfect and many times I wanna just get a macbook, but it's something that I can't do yet for many reasons

@wishgranter14 @koimoa @weeble @coolboymew @mischievoustomato Windows used to be completely unaware of multiple OS and would overwrite it randomly on new updates. Then they got a little less aggressive and made it do some basic checks to not blast a second os."innovations" since Windows 7:* EFI and secureboot where Linux won't even install unless it's signed by a cryptographic key provided by Microsoft* They're back to updates sometimes blasting away your second OS. This falls into the category of "we're not doing it on purpose but we also don't give a fuck about other os because we have no incentive to and it would take effort"

@Uraael @koimoa @sun @weeble @mischievoustomato the ultra convenience problem. Using the computer used to take a minimum level of learn and competency, more so in the DOS era, for example, and now smartphones ruined everythingThe problem usually is that ultra convenience always leads to bad things because of sheer laziness. The fediverse takes a bit to get used to, there's some inconveniences, but ultimately, it's so much better than any other big social media, and this is the ultimate prize of being slightly inconvenienced

@weeble @koimoa @coolboymew @Uraael @mischievoustomato my belief is that most things should be a little hard to use so you activate your brain when you pick it up which stimulates you into figuring it out yourself. what I found was that with tablets and phone the absolute handholding results in complete brain shutoff then simple problems are not even solvable. in other words a little difficulty puts your brain into the right mode.

@sun@shitposter.world @weeble@fedi.bungle.online @koimoa@binky.fish @coolboymew@shitposter.world @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love That sounds super-exhausting. My god, no. I appreciate a challenge, grit makes pearls, but I wouldn't want all challenge all the time. Sometimes it is vital that things just work easily and with the absolute minimum of fuss, and sometimes I just need to relax, you know?Look. Some of the comments here are veering off into kind of abusive/derogatory/judgemental regarding device-usage, and I just want to be clear that wanting a box with one big shiny button on it is, by itself, not any kind of failing. You don't know what that person does in their lives that might mean they don't have the resource to sit and troubleshoot bugged code for four hours a day. Other people just aren't that way inclined, and that is perfectly valid. Computer illiteracy isn't a crime, or some societal death-knell. [#Relax]. What bugs me personally is when that becomes obnoxious crowd-pleasing mockery; those people can fuck off. But perhaps if we weren't calling them "retards" and making them feel stupid they'd be less inclined to be like that?But for your basic 'I just want email that works' person I have no beef with them whatsoever. I have a colleague at work who finds IT use really really hard and it shocked me how little she understood basic concepts, but from her I learned that people with IT skills need to have tolerance for and patience with those that it doesn't come easy to, and not try to berate/guilt them into becoming sysadmins.

@sun @koimoa @weeble @Uraael @coolboymew @mischievoustomato >what I found was that with tablets and phone the absolute handholding results in complete brain shutoff then simple problems are not even solvable.From interacting with young zoomers/gen alpha and having to fix "computer" issues for them, I've soon realized that phones make people that know nothing about computers create "paths" that lead them to an end goal, instead of making them think how you get to the end goal. A similar behavior to elderly people that never learned how to use a computer when they were young. As a result every action has a path (pattern of actions) that needs to be done and they don't think about the reasoning behind that pattern. They've learned that some other options are hidden behind a hamburger (three dot) menu, but change the location of that button in the app and they are doomed.

@sun@shitposter.world @koimoa@binky.fish @coolboymew@shitposter.world @weeble@fedi.bungle.online @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love Disagree. There's nothing inherently noble or valuable about tool-complexity. Believing so is an ideological bias.The whole foundational principle of software is that it makes work easier, allows us to do more than we can do by ourselves. If you're building it with the intent to aggravate users into becoming more capable software users, you're doing it wrong.

@Uraael @coolboymew @koimoa @mischievoustomato @weeble if we don't agree that's fine but I just wanted to state my opinion. I think there should be a small learning curve rather than dumb down the tool to the top 60% of use-cases

@sun@shitposter.world @coolboymew@shitposter.world @koimoa@binky.fish @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @weeble@fedi.bungle.online But why? Why force people to learn if we don't have to? That's as obnoxious as the OP tweets.

@Uraael @koimoa @coolboymew @weeble @mischievoustomato I am not arguing for overly complicated tools, I am arguing that an inherently complicated tool shouldn't be expected to be able to use without learning. a general purpose computer is that

Believing so is an ideological bias.No, but I'm on the same side of this as @sun . It's not that the complexity is good, but that tools are tailored to the person using them and this includes skill level. A chef doesn't use the same tools in the kitchen that I use, and I wouldn't expect most people to use the same software tools I use.> If you're building it with the intent to aggravate users into becoming more capable software users, you're doing it wrong.The ideological bias is that a programmer shouldn't build tools that appeal to other programmers.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @koimoa@binky.fish @coolboymew@shitposter.world @sun@shitposter.world @weeble@fedi.bungle.online @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love In your kitchen example you've just said that there is a choice between what tools can be used. A Chef would make different choices than an ordinary cook.The Chef isn't out there demanding that ordinary cooks use their tools.That's the point I'm making. You don't need to force people to use complicated tools, just because you find them better for your tasks. Plain, simple tools are fine for those that want them. I'm not saying complicated software is bad - I routinely choose more complex software in my personal life, KDE over Gnome, Vivaldi over Chrome and so on. All I'm saying is there's nothing wrong with software being ABC simple. I hate Gnome's simplicity but Gnome suits people other than me, and that's brilliant.

Plain, simple tools are fine for those that want them.A food processor is much more complicated than a knife, but using a knife the way a chef uses it has a steep learning curve. There's "simple to use because it expects nothing of you and tries to bury complexity" and "simple because it doesn't hide anything".> KDE over Gnome, Vivaldi over Chrome"KDE vs. GNOME" is like "KitchenAid vs. Cuisinart". Those tools are roughly in the same class of complexity.

@weeble@fedi.bungle.online @coolboymew@shitposter.world @sun@shitposter.world @Uraael@kitty.social @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love agreed, and that's why smartphones and tablets took over in that regard, but for me I use whatever I feel like and I don't really fanboy (too much) over a particular OSI use windows for gaming and art, tho I strip out a lot of the bloatI use Linux for maintaining my VPS and other shitI have a Mac mini that I use as a desktopI have Haiku that I use for DAW stuffAin't a perfect OS IMHO they're all ass in their special way but I use whatever gets the job done. I think calling people idiots or whatever isn't gonna convince them to switch to a particular system, they just want what works and that's it
