  • I feel I have a special perspective on this, being at the cusp of millennials and zoomers. It’s not so much that “it’s not my job” it’s more “I’ve been so conditioned that anyone and everyone will take advantage of me and I refuse to give them any sort of foothold to do so.”

    I love learning, and I do plenty of things outside of my job scope, and see the benefit of learning those skills. However, I absolutely see where they’re coming from and have learned that the hard way too that allowing yourself to be trained on other things usually doesn’t mean you now do those things, it means to management that you now do your job plus those things, and get paid the same.

    Makes some good points, mint is the closest experience you can get to windows. And one thing I think people who are getting uppity about the idea of that don’t get is, if you want more mainstream adaptation of Linux, YOU. NEED. THAT.

    I remember the story of a man trying to get his mom onto Linux and she broke down crying at one point because learning all the new things was stressful for her, completely turned her off of Linux.

    Mint isn’t for the sweaty arch-bros of the world, it’s a valuable onboarding tool for the rest of us who didn’t spend our childhood scripting shell commands to do random shit on our PC’s in grade school. IMHO, Adapt to accessibility or get the hell out of the way.
