    Just watched that portion. When he scrolls down to “yes do as I say” you can literally see two lines above it stating it will remove desktop environment.

    Outputs exist for a reason, folks.

      And that is why Linux isn’t as widely distributed as Windows. Linux is great, if you know what you are doing. But most of the world doesn’t have the time needed to learn Linux well enough to avoid major fuck-ups like this.

      Linux gives you a wall of text when all the user did (at least what they thought they did) is say install this program. The system ask “Are you sure?” And the user is like “Yes, just do it!” I can’t imagine anything on Windows doing that lol.

      I like Linux and I think it’s great, but I can certainly understand why the majority of people are wary of it.

        Windows would never show the user a wall of incomprehensible text with serious implications and expect them to just click yes!

        Windows:

        Linus was conditioned by Windows to just click “yes” on everything.

          That is an EULA …

          Most every piece of software has it.

          Also, that EULA is 15 years old, couldn’t find a more recent one?
