    Windows has gotten a lot better at fixing itself, but even back in the day when it didn’t, I was confident I could find the solution to any problem in a forum somewhere.

    With my attempts at linux, maybe 1 in 5 problems had an answer somewhere, and then it was still another 1 in 5 chance that the solution wold work with my distro.

      So basically you copy-paste commands and expect them to work like some magic spells? I think I’ve estimated your level of expertise correctly in another comment.

        No but I do fuckdamn expect a certain commonality between how repositories are handled which DOES NOT EXIST in the current ecosystem.

        You always underestimated my expertise in each and every one of your comments.

        JSYK if you live anywhere in the eastern half of the U.S. it is likely that your packets are going at least partway over a cable I laid with my own hands. You can estimate my expertise any way you want but my employer’s satisfaction with my work outweighs some internet rando’s opinion of a few hundred words.

          that, then I agree that Red Hat and things based on it suck, but I don’t see what does this have to do with “the current ecosystem”, because different distributions handle repositories differently.

            I’m sure you don’t, which is why your shitty ass OS is sitting at 4% desktop adoption rates.
