While I’ve been considering buying a brand new PC and mobile phone (for absolutely no reason whatsoever; totally a coinkidink that I considered it at this point in time), I decided to also look up what China’s own operating system was (because obviously they would have their own operating system; why would they make absolutely everything else and NOT make their own operating system?) and I was like ‘ooooh, that looks cool! This Kylin OS!’ only to watch a video expounding on it and revealing it’s a Linux based operating system.
Hexbear Linux users are to China what Israel is to America CMV
I just want a normal operating system where I double click an app to activate or install it, and it has full functionality no ifs and or buts with my OS, and I can rightclick and get all the necessary functionalities of rightclicking.
sudo install better OS
Stupid dressed up DOS like operating system; yeah cause I really want to type up lines of instructions to do what windows can do with a double click; cause I want to spend two hours googling how to install non-Linux compatible software on Linux, and then spend two hours finding out why the solution didn’t work making me feel like Indiana Jones excavating cursed ruins for a treasure you could’ve gotten at Walmart.
Yes, migrating from Windows to Linux is a learning curve. I totally appreciate it’s frustrating, but it just comes down to “you were raised with a different thing.”
I say this as someone who has spent years as IT support for Windows, Mac and Linux computers respectively. There’s no such thing.
I mean this is your problem. If you don’t want to mess about googling how to do stuff, then use software that’s built for the OS you’re using??? You’d have infinitely more issues trying to get Windows to run software not designed for it.
My assumption is you’re just used to closed Windows software. Linux has its own software and/or native executables for any tasks you’d need to do, and even many (or most??) games nowadays, where you can install/run everything with a double click and don’t need to type anything.
Otherwise, if you’re reliant on Windows-specific software for some reason, then sorry but you have to live with your costly insecure proprietary invasive nonfunctional OS slop. Instead complain to the developers for taking closed garden single-OS approach when it’s actually incredibly easy nowadays to be multiplatform.
I tried Linux, the learning curve was too high; I recall a (bit?) on here that actually fits me perfectly: someone was saying a grandma had walked in and decided to buy a Linux and was asking about very in-depth Linux info, which someone immediately called out as a bit because the average old lady wouldn’t have the slightest idea how to use Linux; I’m like that old lady.
I’m way too used to Windows and had been hoping China had made an OS almost indistinguishable from Windows.
Why would China make a bad os on purpose?
