Comment on Manjaro is experimenting with **opt-out telemetry | Hacker News (More like op-out spying)
original_reader@lemm.ee 2 days agoI’ve found that some people use Linux just to be apart of the “cool tech kids” on the internet. They don’t understand how to use a CLI… I hope that’s true. If Linux got this far to make PC life possible for the cool kids, I say welcome every single one of then.

I mean, when I started using Linux I also tried to avoid the CLI, and I was successful at that with Mint for quite a while. Actually, updating Mint in GUI is faster. I didn’t find a way to enable parallel downloads for apt like for pacman, but the GUI does just that.
Very much possible nowdays. I haven’t even switched from Windows, I got a first computer, didn’t know the difference between Linux Mint and Windows, but I found Mint easier to use. Windows confused me with separate settings and control panel, and then some guide asking me to do woodoo in scary looking registry editor…
