for my next newsletter and episode i bought the bestselling laptop on Amazon to try and explain how shitty most people's exposure to tech is. Currently at 30 minutes of menus and updates. I have agreed to three privacy policies and created two new accounts. We live in hell

I agreed to this thing from edge. I have no idea what I agreed to! But I agreed to it. Also they just hit you with a OneDrive ad for good measure

"why don't you do a clean install why don't you do linux what if you replaced this" no no no no no. This is the bestselling laptop on Amazon and I am acting as if I am a normal person. Normal people don't even know what linux is. They think the Penguin is bothersome

Linux is clunky for the average person.

I've found Linux Mint to be about 95% not clunky. It's the remaining 5% that kills it for the average user.
