i use linux BECAUSE i fear technology...
maybe more accurately it should be 'understand' technology, but then why would windows be there ?
I wouldn't say I'm that techy and I recently jumped over to Linux Mint from Windows because it has the C-compiler gcc pre-installed and it's UNIX seems to be a better experience for programming. It was easy to install, I find I'm going back to Windows less and less. I used to use Photoshop a lot, now I'm just using Krita. I'm lovin it so far. Only games are a problem maybe, although the game I play has a linux version, I just can't be bothered loading yet.
Linux Mint is supposed to be the easy for-the-layman Linux distro and that's been my experience so far - everything has worked, no issues.
Not sure why you got downvotes, my non-techy dad uses Mint to play civilization 5 and hasn't used windows for at least a decade now.

I tried watch the other day. Couldn't get passed the first step in the installer. It was like using a computer from the late 80s.

A meme about Linux and BSD and all those nerdy things on a general meme ~~subreddit~~ community that has more than 500 upvotes (with 1000 being a really high number of votes)? If this post was back on Reddit, say r/Memes, it would probably only get 100. Lemmy needs to somehow diversify its demographics such that less technical don't feel as alienated after joining. (To be clear, this is not a criticism on this post.)
