I used to think I was a 5/10, but then I tried to pirate a game on SteamDeck and I felt like I lost a lot of braincells. Spend like 6 hours trying to fix things and I accidentally bugged the internal speakers.

I think I’m at 3/10, linux (SteamOS) is so fucking hard to use.

I might be the most technologically illiterate Lemmy user ever.

    3/10 too.

    Linux IS hard to use, especially when you try to do something you never can on Windows.

    I spent this morning trying to fix the WiFi driver on my laptop and ended up using USB-LAN adapter.

    Also, I tried to run Ente Photos on Coolify on said laptop and I couldn’t. Luckily there was a preset for immich so I used it instead.

    Linux is hard. Computer is hard and it should be.

      Computer is hard and it should be.

      Too fucking hard, that’s why a lot of people prefer phones (and tablets)

      I mean, its very difficult to even brick a phone OS, but delete a wrong file on a computer and, its reinstall time, meanwhile phones can just delete data and start over, its nearly impossible to delete the OS.

        Phones are easy to use, but difficult to tweak.

        Difficulty depends on what you’re trying to do with it. You can’t install a pirated Windows game and run it on Android right?
