Not knowing how anything works

I mean, that's how you start learning stuff - not knowing how something works

Being scared by errors that you don't know how to get around or deal with

Isn't that the case for every OS in existence? When something breaks, you don't know how to deal with it. Enter google/ddg/whatever

Not knowing alternatives for your former favourite apps to do things quickly

See point 1 - and yet there are Linux apps that let you do things quicker than Windows stuff. I can't imagine myself at this point having to use frigging photoshop to crop or add a border to a image when you could do that with a ´magick -crop´

Wondering if you get the peripherals you currently own to run?

Wasn't that the whole point of live images? Not that they will charge you for downloading them. And hardware support is infinitely better today than back in the day. Just look at what the folks at asahi did - that's nothing short of incredible

I feel like this supporting Windows servers and navigating Win 11/12 clients at work these days.

Tossing Gentoo onto an old Pentium III box, typing emerge world and coming back four hours later to see if it's done was awesome.

And no, it wasn't done compiling KDE yet.

But I definitely wouldn't want to experiment with Linux on my only PC with no way to look things up if I break networking (or the whole system). Thankfully, this is no longer an issue in the age of smartphones.

There's also the fact that if you have modern hardware, you'll find that half the features that you paid for don't work properly in Linux (or at all). It's a great OS to keep an old PC alive, though.

Gets super horny

Very succinct and includes 99% of the situation. Thanks, and well done.

Only things I would add would be: Being a moderator on lemmy and not knowing that modlogs are public is baffling. That alone really outlines the fact he was unqualified for the role.

And that it seems pretty obvious the comments were only deleted by him to hide his own. He had already shown an inability to be measured and collected, as well as a poor understanding of the platform from a moderation perspective. Then, his clear disregard for the only rule for the community by lashing out at something that could have been more easily dismissed entirely. He should have just deleted the comment without a response. My mildly stupid comment just did not deserve that kind of reaction.

It all serves as solid evidence that he was willing to abuse his mod role for something so minor, and a person like that wouldn't stop there.

The real cherry on top is how pathetic it is to go to mastodon to complain about the public mod logs on lemmy.

I don't know the guy, but I can relate

🥺🍆

Like what? All I can see is copy and paste blog spam.

He showed everyone here who he really is. There's no reason to just forget his real self when people keep posting links to his generic gaming blog site instead of the actual source of information.

Thank you for clarifying! My brain could only see this as an excerpt and I was not able to seperate it from the assumed rest of the sentence.
