Hello. I’ve been a window user from win95. I’d like to learn more about Linux but don’t know where to start. I had a brief intro when I was in highschool and recently I’ve been seeing more and more talk here on Lemmy. Mostly memes.
With how bad Google is finding good information unless I add -reddit to my search. Which I won’t do. Trying to stay away from that.
What can I expect to find as a casual observer? Why does Linux do that’s “better” than Windows? That’s not meant to inflame anyone. More so what do you personally like better.
you’re correct, though I’d disagree with the idea of convincing people away from windows if none of what makes linux linux appeals to them. Some people like windows, some people just use what’s on their system to browse facebook, some people couldn’t care less if bill gates was in the room watching them get pegged by their wife, some people just hate computers and want to use them as little as possible. For those people I see no reason for them to switch and wouldn’t argue they should. Not to say there aren’t more reasons than I listed to switch those are just some of my favorites. When people ask me why they should switch to linux, I say because they want to. If they don’t, eh, who cares, it’s an OS. I’m more than willing to ramble about why I like linux but if none of that entices them I gain nothing from shoving it down their throats.
