Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

linux users when the windows sudo replica still values user security and uses uac and doesn’t just let you make changes to core system files because you happened to know a four letter command 👿👿👿👿
Linux and Unices assume you know what you're doing
Windows assumes that the user has the mental prowess and knowledge of a 5 year old
Both can result in disaster, in glorious ways
hate this take. can we stop calling normal, non-techie people idiots?
it’s like saying the safety on a gun was designed for babies and makes the FOSS community look toxic as fuck.
The first sentence is right, but not because of intelligence (agreed toxic).
The money that goes into Linux is for corporate use by administrators. Very little money makes end user facing tools. I think given that fact the Linux desktop is an amazing result of the work of a lot of volunteers.
100% agree
the results of a gun mishap is quite different from a personal computer mishap...
so is this the first time you have encountered a simile or did you want me to spell it out for you 😂😂
