Because most people are not anywhere near as computer literate as much of Lemmy would have you believe.

You know that scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit where Donald and Daffy Duck are both playing the same song on individual pianos while trying to kill each other? Yeah.
She meant she could figure it out just playing around with it, not reading a manual or asking around. I told her she’d have to read a manual.
My daughter told me the other day, “I bet I could figure out a Commodore 64 if I had one.”
Good luck figuring out LOAD “*”,8,1 by yourself, kid.
Even 10 has annoying popups all the time. And they added AI to the bottom right hand corner where I’ve accidentally clicked on it twice now.
Even in a utopia, some people wouldn’t want to live anymore. And it should be their legal right to end their lives painlessly at the time of their choosing.
Captain’s log, stardate…
Capitalism solves nothing. It doesn’t even, in general, make people rich. It just makes rich people richer.
It was so stupid. F12 should have been all it took, but it didn’t even recognize the USB drive existed.
It’s just so stupid. Obviously other notebooks don’t have this issue. Some people are blaming Mint for not doing anything about it, but I’m still blaming Lenovo mostly.
Admittedly, I’ve only been able to play with it on and off today, but I am really liking it so far (except Firefox, which apparently no longer has a compact mode). I’ve had to use Macs for years for work reasons, but I don’t have to anymore and I said to myself that when my ancient Macbook died, I would replace it with something that runs Linux. MacOS is okay, not terrific (I hate how much RAM it uses though). I don’t mind using it, but I am not going to pay Apple’s prices now that I don’t have to just because it’s less annoying than Windows. So Linux is the perfect answer!
I doubt I’d be able to afford one of those. I got this because it was $200 refurbished.
I’m surprised HP notebooks are trustworthy at this point.
I’ll try Ventoy next time, thanks. I just followed the install instructions on Mint’s website which says to use Etcher. Maybe that’s the problem.
how did you expect it to run Linux?
Because I asked in this community and got a bunch of people who said they ran Linux on it and it worked just fine? Which it does now that it’s been installed.
Adobe pulls that shit too.
And it’s really easy to not really think about what you’re doing and accidentally save to the cloud.
Then later wonder what the fuck happened to the file you spent three hours on when you came back from lunch.
Fucking Adobe.
