Installing and using a #Linux distribution that targets mainstream users without resort to the terminal is entirely practical.

It is not "victim blaming" to remind people that they should rely on guidance specific to their distribution and not the mythical thing called "Linux" and that the internet it littered with three decades worth of outdated and erroneous how-tos.

Social media is not a help forum or a community support tool.

Why give credence to "just install Linux" assertions from unknown social media posters?

I've used #Linux for years. I don't tell anyone to "just install Linux". Linux doesn't run on everything. Neither does Windows or MacOS.

The internet is littered with outdated and/or sloppy Linux tutorials. No one cleans that muck up. It's common to imply the command line is the only way to do something because click-hunting sites can't be bothered with screenshots.
