  • Linux is a tool, not a toy. Pop os may be (idk), but thats not the fault of Linux. No one would expect to be able to operate a cnc mill without at least reading the quickstart manual. Not even if they already know how to operate one made by a different brand and especially not when they only know how to use a dremel.

    There are a lot of beginner friendly guides out there, there are some really really bad rehashes of those guides made for content too. There is a (secret?) trick on how to avoid the latter: turn adblock on and javascript off and most of them magically just show a blank page.

    Linux distributions usually aren’t meant to be idiot proof, since they don’t assume you are an idiot. Which, I think, is generally required for decent and respectful interaction.
