You can do all the privacy measures in the world, but if the people you talk to are using spyware then it’s all out the window. (literally Windows, get it?)
This video breaks down some of the basic reasons to switch to Linux so you can convince your friends: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/why-linux-beats-windows/
Diplomjodler ( @Diplomjodler@feddit.de ) 23•11 months agoFriends? If i had friends I wouldn’t be using Linux, would I?
HousePanther ( @housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com ) English4•11 months agoLOL! Not necessarily. I got three of my friends converted to Linux. They’re running Linux Mint
Lanthanae ( @Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 4•11 months agoIf anything, that video makes me want to quit Linux because of how much cringe it made me feel.
som ( @awwsom@beehaw.org ) English3•11 months agonow again another issue i’ll tell you. I wawnt to install Nvim and then add lazyvim to it. EZPZ. No, if you install using apt you get version 0.7.2 but lazyvim require version 08 at least, apt doenst have a newer version… Ok uninstall it and then install using flatpak… but oh no now it I can’ open nvim using the terminal. Now if i tell my normie friends that i spent 2 hours just to find out that it can’t be done. They’ll laugh at me and tell me to switch to windows.
som ( @awwsom@beehaw.org ) English3•11 months agoI reinstalled ubuntu 23 today and after sleep the laptop was just stuck at async error. No way to get out of it other than force shutdown. This happened twice out of 3 times i put it to sleep.
you think if i told a normie this is the issue i face he will switch to linux?
surely there are never problems with windows
som ( @awwsom@beehaw.org ) 2•11 months agoi also have windows installed and no it never did apparently.
