    These stories always feel so bizarrely insulting. Now listen bros, my girlfriend is a total dunce but even she, a woman, managed to follow instructions and execute an install wizard, just like a competent man would. And that is why 2024 is the year of the Linux desktop. #feminism

    🙄

      My actual point is that most people are idiots who can’t read instructions. I’m not insulting women, I’m insulting everyone.

      I’ll remember to simply omit her gender in the future.

        I agree, that’s my point

        Well half of it, the other half being that there is some magic “technicalness” to reading a wizard. If you aren’t doing weird partitioning shit on Linux it’s literally like enter your username, password, time zone, and wifi information. It’s not fucking hard.

        Now if you find me a Linux distro that supports out of box tpm + secureboot + dual boot without requiring Cthulhu-style arcane rituals…sign me up.
