I would also add on that saying “Just ask Duckduckgo” further obfuscates everything. Yes, it is a generally good search engine choice. But “Google” is the verb people use. Even us sickos who use Bing will say “google that”.
Which more or less highlights one of the biggest problems for further adoption of linux among sane users. The current users.
Because the entirety of that post can be rewritten as “The big difference between Windows and Linux is the approach to installing software. There have been improvements on the Windows side over the years, but the idea is still that you search the internet for installers. On Linux, you use a ‘package manager’ that is sort of like a phone app store for your computer”. And since I actually have recent windows experience i would add on “If you ever used ‘winget’ or ‘chocolatey’, it is like that but it actually works and the entire system is built around it”
But nah, gotta get that greybeard on and gatekeep as many people as possible. Its like people see “hey, I am a newbie and want to try this out” and decide that means they need to big league everyone to prove how smart they think they are.
