And what does that mean? That drivers for most hardware doesn't exist unless we write it ourselves? I don't have time for that steep a climb.

You guys are now seriously freaking me out. My experience has been decades of windows not mainframes with 1980s era OSes. Is all that experience going to be useless?

I'm looking forward to owning my computer, especially as Microsoft claws away more of my rights season by season. But WTF am I getting myself into when I make the jump? Is it possible to own my computer and have an easy to understand OS?

I hope I'm not fucking myself when I try to make the switch, but when the first response to it's got problems is don't look a gift horse in the mouth then yeah, it makes me a bit worried I'm going to be left out in the elements on my own by a community with the attitude of COD gamers.

To answer your question, for the non-tech-savvy having to pick a server is, yes, too much of a leap. We are conditioned in the industrialized capitalist world against making decisions we don't understand.

If we want to market it, we could make a wizard that randomly designates a server from a set of cooperating servers. Include also reminders that a user can join multiple servers and each one has separate rules (say, regarding posting NSFW material even to appropriate communities.)

I just talked to a Redditor who was entirely unfamiliar with the recent changes at Reddit.

Okay when I was considering builds, I was figuring on Mint, but since that's an Ubuntu variant, I take that's a bad idea now?
