This comment here is peak Linux, and a perfect example of that xkcd comic.

99% of people probably couldn't even tell you what a syntax is. Let alone how it's relevant to using Linux

Cons : we want lower taxes.

Libs: ok tax break?

So I'm building a new computer before the end of the year and lemmy is obviously pushing me towards Linux.

I am not computer savvy, I have a family member that will help me set up my PC, but I do not want to be calling/messaging them every day when I want to open a program.

Basically my question comes down to: can I operate a Linux PC these days without needing to troubleshoot or type code.

I use my computer about once a week for a few hours I would say, so any time spent troubleshooting is time wasted.

Thanks!

EDIT: since a lot of people are asking what programs I typically use, I'll just list my most used programs.

Word, Excel, ect(I'm fine with alternatives)

Spotify

Gimp (would have been a make or break, so I'm glad it's supported)

Brave browser (browser is a browser)

Steam

Discord

I would say that while I could figure out how the kernels work, I'm at a point with computers these days where I don't have the time. My priorities fall with a seamless daily experience. If I have the time to figure something out I can, but ideally my day to day usage being unbotherd is what I'm after.

A lot of the comments so far have been helpful! I'm definitely going to give Linux a fair shot with my new build, probably start with Mint.

This has got to have been satire right? Since the upvotes/down have been blanked, I'm going to assume it had negative ratio

I feel like all of these fediverse platforms are going to suffer from the same issue.

I searched up peertube and clicked on the peertube link. No where was there a "recommend videos" feed or "upload videos" or "create account" and the first link to a peertube platform is a cliche "rebellion" something or other.

These things will never see mass adoption if they aren't approachable to the casual browser. It sucks, but the average user would rather give their data to Google or watch 25sec of ads before each video then try to figure out fediverse. Especially since when you do figure it out, there isn't any good content yet.

LOL, albertans think Trudeau stopped the pipeline.

It's like saying that you're intentionally not going to get a first aid ticket, so that you don't have to help someone when they get hurt. You can just throw your hands up and walk away while yelling at all the people who do have their first aid ticket that they're doing it wrong.

And then applying for a job as an EMT.

Only thing I can think of is ads during content instead of before?

Yar har I guess.

They might not be the most consistent, but I'm learning a lot! Recipe will come with the final total product photo tomorrow!

As of right now, I'm finding Lemmy has more than enough content for my daily browsing. However, that's because I took a few hours last month scouring as many instances as possible for the highest usercount communities that I wanted to get in my feed.

Reddit has a decent default sub list, and that's what's going to push new people away from Lemmy imo. I was frustrated enough with Spez to ditch reddit and dedicate a few hours to making this my new home.

Lots of people aren't going to want to put that effort in, especially when their feed at Reddit was not effected by any of the changes made.

Recipe:

High quality bread flour: 375g
Garlic powder: 5g
Italian Seasoning: 5g

Water: 225g
Oil: 40g
Poolish: 200g (it's what I had on hand, I'm would normally have only used 100g) 
Active Dry Yeast: 5g
Salt: 15g

1. Mix water with poolish and Oil
2. Mix salt in wet and combine with dry
3. Knead till a ball forms (skin will tear easily)
4. Rest in warm environment for 30 mins.
5. Knead into smooth ball, rest for 30 mins
6. Flour (or semolina) rolling surface and expand to two, 10 inch rounds. See tips after recipe
7. Build your pizzas and bake at 425 for 20ish mins

Pizza shaping tips!

-wet dough is harder to handle, but way easier to shape.

-equal parts semolina and flour is an awesome dust for your bench.

-tossing your pizza in the air is a great method to expand a soft and supple dough. It’s also real fun.

-let your dough balls rest for 15-20 mins before expanding.

-place your dough ball on the dusted bench and press from the inside out. Try to avoid breaking the skin!

-always rotate the dough while expanding it. Envision a circular rope around the outside of the crust that you are trying to stretch but not break. If you do this right you will be able to actually feel the gluten strands forming a circle around your dough.
