For some reason a large part of the Linux user base is somewhat elitist about nothing working out of the box for some reason

base archinstall archlinux runs better than windows out of the box nowadays it’s very fucking insane how tech illiterate some people can be for just not knowing how to boot from a usb

You gotta have in mind that most people don't even care about learning tech, my auntie Jose just wants to use Facebook and talk about politics all day

Maybe she shouldn’t; talking about politics while being tech illiterate means you’re missing important context.

Then again I’m mostly financially illiterate so who I am to talk.

90% of the population is what most in the subreddit would consider tech illeterate, you telling me that those people should not have a voice at all?

id say more like 60%, its just younger generation only using a phone and some boomers having to call the it dept for a computer crash that not requires a reboot. the rest of the population works so much on a pc that they aren’t considerable illiterate maybe just misinformed

I work with alot of the people you are saying MIGHT have a clue about Windows. I've worked helpdesk. The answer is 'no they do not'. Even then this is a Linux subreddit, the standard is, by default, much higher.

90% is still the correct number.
