    So basically, if you’re sawing trees with a blunt saw and somebody suggests sharpening the saw, you’ll say “I can’t, I got trees to cut!”?

      Almost.

      Imagine youre cutting trees with an axe and someone tells you theres a tool out there that can do it better, but you have to learn how to use it to become efficient with it. And you dont have time to learn new tool because capitalism says you have to have that tree cut down right now.

        That may have been true for Linux 10 years ago, but now it is easier to install than Windows, and much faster to install. It may mean the axe handle is a different colour, but it chops the same or better.

          faster and easier to install

          Youre assuming youre talking to someone who installs their OS and doesnt open a box with an OS already installed

        There is never a good time to change things. You just have to start somewhere. And I’m not saying everybody should do it right now. But the more people do it the quicker we build critical mass.

        No no, you don’t understand. Because this person wants to learn about linux everyone should want to. Because if they want to it’s the best. If you just want to use things that are easy and spend your free time on things you enjoy you’re an IDIOT! Wake up, sheeple!
