Hey! I've been told I should learn how to use a computer. I was surprised, because I really thought I knew how to use one, but apparently, according to the Discord and recent posts on Talk, I don't!
Some of the problems they identified:
using non-FOSS software on a daily basis
using the acronym "FOSS" instead of "GNU" to refer to the software I do not use
using Python, the world's most popular programming language, for any daily task ever, apparently (it is only used by noobs)
using a profiler to determine if my code is fast instead of my bare, knee-jerk intuitions about bloat
using UEFI and not MBR
using iOS and not Android
using Windows 10 and not Linux
using Ubuntu and not Mint
using Mint and not Debian
using Debian and not Arch
using Arch and not Nix
using Nix and not Guix
using Guix and not Arch
Please help! I want to switch from gatekept novice to person who gatekeeps novices. Based on my current observations, this should take reading one Brokenthorn tutorial, the back cover of The Little Schemer, and the first Google hit for "Manjaro." (because the base Arch installation is apparently too difficult for certain people to learn, and repl.it users only hold people to task for things they don't know how to do when it's not easily verifiable that they don't know how to do them)
P.S. Please reply by snail mail: my wifi drivers have been broken ever since I took repl.it's advice on what operating system to use.
Haha Zekka all you have to do is buy a bunch of parts, then build your own computer. Then ull know how it works. Have doubts about that? Find a tutorial. what do you think the INTERNET IS FOR!!!! Dude use debian as linux, or arch. Also, defenitely python is the best beginner language. I hope that helped! Good luck. If anybody found this helpful, please upvote
