    Most the shit on this sub is stupid, but I have to admit this one gave me a chuckle, even if it is a little mischaracterizing Linux.

    Edit: also, guitar hero basically already does exist on Linux (and Windows and Mac) it’s called Clone Hero

      Like most jokes here, this one is just very outdated. I have literally never had to compile a package myself.

        I honestly can’t tell if this place is a joke, it seems like literally one or two users with serious hate boners for Linux lmao. The vast, vast majority of posts are posted by OP here.

    I would actually consider buying this as a kit. It would make for a fun project

    Why man? Just don’t use Linux then, ffs. This is like complaining why anyone would want to drive a motorbike when cars exist

    and this is ignoring the fact that even most grandma of people can use Ubuntu

      most grandma of people can use Ubuntu

      If and only if it works out of the box. My last attempt at Ubunutu (about a year ago) lasted 20 minutes because it couldn’t connect to the WiFi during setup, claiming a wrong password. Even though the password was 100% correct.

      I don’t care if it’s the hardware manufacturer’s fault or driver programmer’s fault or God’s spite. If Ubuntu cannot get these things right, and Windows (or even Linux Mint) can, then Granny won’t use it.

    The same with people who insist it’s easy to build my own gaming PC. I’m sure it’s easy to build a ps5 with all the parts as well, but I DON’T WANT TO BUILD MY OWN ELECTRONICS. I don’t care how easy they claim it is. Unless it comes out of the box, ready to plug in, I’m not interested. I don’t have the patience to go through hours of tutorials

      lmao this comment is pathetic. Putting together a pc is not ‘building your own electronics’, its plugging parts into marked slots. Its literally easier than most lego sets these days.

        I AM NOT INTERESTED!! I don’t want an Ikea version of gaming machine. I have zero desire in doing it.

        Which components into what slot? What brand and models? That’s enough for me to avoid it. I don’t want to do it, even if it’s easy

          Building computers is really like LEGO. Building a bike is more complicated.

          Preconfigured computers contain mostly garbage tier hardware components and additionally are way overpriced.

          If you are content with that, loss is on you.
