Lack of patience and/or unwillingness to learn are what I see as the primary challenges to Linux adoption, and it can be addressed by leaving those kind of people to their own devices.
Or… They just want their monitor to work. Instead of refusing to display a picture after a simple minor kernel update that causes a bug that is extremely hard to track down even when you know shit about Linux… That’s also an option.
Understanding what different distros offer and being able to make a educated decision about it. I looked around for a week or so until I found a arch distro that worked, took away the manual installation process as a complete noob, and wasn't all red flags straight away (the example is that a lot of ppl advised against manjaro). I ended up with garuda (which some ppl aren't a fan of because of chaotic-aur, but we have to start somewhere, haven't we) atm which works fine until I am confident enough to do a complete base arch installation the next time.
This metaphor works very well with these two pictures. In the upper picture the more senior cattle are projecting the new and young. And in the picture below even they don’t even stand a chance alone.
Jeez this is so true. I struggle daily to stay on top of the code and docs I have to review, answer people who are pinging me in slack, and being in meetings… I want to actually get some shit done!
