    For me it’s:

    Step 1: Google

    Step 2: Open stackoverflow link

    Step 3: Read a bunch of people yelling at OP about why their question/issue is dumb and that they need to Google more.

    Step 4: Find what might possibly be an answer to the question but it is written in a way that leaves out half the knowledge I would need to correctly interpret the answer because this person just assumes I know everything there is to know about programming already. Meaning I would never have need to ask the question in the first place, duh.

    Step 5: Leave computer in disgust and maybe try rubbing two sticks together to make a fire that I can use to burn everything down…

    And that is why Linux isn’t as widely distributed as Windows. Linux is great, if you know what you are doing. But most of the world doesn’t have the time needed to learn Linux well enough to avoid major fuck-ups like this.

    Linux gives you a wall of text when all the user did (at least what they thought they did) is say install this program. The system ask “Are you sure?” And the user is like “Yes, just do it!” I can’t imagine anything on Windows doing that lol.

    I like Linux and I think it’s great, but I can certainly understand why the majority of people are wary of it.
