It's been a full two years since I wrote about how Linux is now a viable OS for PC gaming and in that time a lot has changed. The open-source desktop OS isn't just for gaming. It's also great for a bunch of other computing tasks one usually does on Windows or even macOS. After using Windows for more than two decades, I find myself no longer able to put up with it.

sudo apt-get install myasshole

type in your password...and you're done, son.

How is this so complicated? Because letters are typed instead of an icon being clicked? Letters are scary?

It's not only that, but a lot of the programs that require command line installation don't even have clear instructions on how to do so. And some of them require you to do something with the BIN, idk how to do anything with the BIN man that's when I give up.

don't even have clear instructions on how to do so.

This. Some software gets released with incomplete, absolutely minimal, or just plain wrong documentation.

However, I've written full documentation with screenshots, fucking arrows, clarifications... the whole 9 yards. Yet I'd still get calls for stupid shit clearly explained in the documentation. Simply because they just don't want to read it and want to have their hand held and walked through step-by-step by someone on the phone.
