I think an Arch/Void/Gentoo challenge just for him (no oponent, just to get it working with everything he needs) is what he should do now… make the fucker sweat a little 😂.
“Compile from source 🤨? WTF is that?.. oh, you make the thingies that work in the OS from that thingie no one understands except the developers 😬… OK, let’s give it a try”… dependency errors all around… “OK, that’s it, I’m out!”
While this would be funny to watch, it wouldn’t help Linux at all, quite the opposite actually because many have the impression of Linux in exactly that way.
So something like this would have to have a huge asterisk and constant clarification that this is “not the general state of Linux”

And that these are all poweruser distros, not something your average user deals with.
He will just do the same thing as last time. He is too lazy to look something up online so he will just give up and say it’s not ready yet.
Exactly. He doesn’t even bother, this thing doesn’t work out of the box = it’s broken.
