Setting is up is always easy. Having it do what you need it to, day in and day out, without fail, is the hard part.

Nope, it doesn’t.
Yep...it does.
It’s either the user, the distro, package maintainer or upstream fucking up.
Yes that's what I'm referring to.
Remember that Android is Linux-based
People keep saying this without understanding that Android was forked with several billion dollars in funding and aimed squarely at "normal" users, and had a decade of development since then.
Most "Linux" OSes really don't bother with this. How many times has someone sent you into the Android terminal to fix a problem? Literally never. It doesn't even exist without connecting a PC. Because you don't need it.
Initial setup can be hard, and then, because GNU/Linux lets you do whatever you want, It's not hard to bork the system if you're using commands you don't understand.
But it borks itself. It doesn't require my assistance.
This is always a hilarious conversation because the diehard Linux users will lie up and down about how Linux has no problems and it's just you that's too dumb to understand how to use it.
You have to blame YouTube and the people who click those garbage thumbnails
I mean yes but also it's not that hard. Google is not trying to give you a great experience, they're trying to drive clicks to ads.
Most modern antivirus software is a virus in and of itself.
Someone explain why this is a big deal. I feel like we have massive privacy concerns all over the place and this is just...not one of them.
I very much prefer Android but I can't fault you for that.
I don't consider that a victory at all. Meta could bring the Fediverse to the masses. And allow anyone to follow and interact with their friends on Threads.
