I think they are referring to this.

As in, it’s not that they want, they might have to.

I seem to remember a similar blunder as well, maybe it was DeSantis?

They’re not talking about texting apps, it’s keyboards and speech to text engines that often have a profanity filter, which usually is on by default.

I disable it on everything every time I change phones or format, but not everybody tinkers with settings.

You probably default to a keyboard without profanity filter.

It takes 10 minutes for you. I know people who struggle to understand that the browser isn’t google isn’t the internet, try having them install a new OS. They don’t follow the guides, because they don’t even understand what they should look for.
Some understand enough but like the convenience, and again that’s fair.

Bedsides, gaming distros aren’t the mess you say they are, nor are they so much more niche than any other major distro.
Usually they just work, when they don’t you look for fixes in the underlying distro community.

You are gatekeeping, and you are condescendingly deciding the best path for everyone else. I get that you honestly think it would be better, still people are different, what’s best for you doesn’t need to be the best for everyone else.

They don’t make gaming better, they make it easier for people who want to switch to have a functioning system, and there’s no price tag at all. Some will learn from there, some will just keep taking the easy way and that’s fine too.

It’s gatekeeping because without them only people willing and able to get technical get access to Linux. Would it be better if everybody learned? Of course. It’s not going to happen though, let others have a way in.

Everything works, so keep gatekeeping if it makes you feel better

If gaming is a priority, Garuda is a nice one to avoid as well

If you like arch based, may I suggest you try Garuda?

It’s a gaming distro, which I don’t know if you care about, but it’s very stable, should work with NVidia and has many quality of life features.

I agree for the most part, and I left the Catholic Church I grew up in for that and many other reasons.

However, isn’t Christ’s message supposed to be “you shall love your neighbour as yourself”? When it becomes “hurt your neighbour as much as you can” does it make sense to still call it Christianity?

Since it’s been that way basically from the beginning though, maybe well meaning Christian people should just step away and start over.

I think I’ll keep both and see which I enjoy best. Thank you for your explanation, it was appreciated.

Ah thank you, I’ll look into it

Is there a way beside Sync to tag people? It’s the feature I miss most in any other client, and the main reason I keep using that instead of an open source alternative.
