    You’re placing a lot of "if"s in there, and treating them as if they’re already true.

    If you put enough roadblocks in the way these kids will learn same as we did.

    Roadblocks to what? To using a pc? What makes you think kids WANT to use a PC at all? Is the roadblock getting to access the internet? Because there’s no roadblocks for that. They have cell phones. Thats what they know the internet as, and they’re accessing it just fine. Is the roadblock privacy? You think kids who take out their cell phones in public, and record them and their friends, and anyone walking by in the background, as they dance the newest trendy dance, to upload to tiktok, are worried about privacy?

    And yes, I do think everyone lives in a bubble. Some people live in the same bubble. Most people live in multiple bubbles.

    Did you know the Cleveland Cavaliers have lost the first 3 games in a 7 game series against the NY Knicks? Probably not. I live in Cleveland. It’s all anybody in this bubble is talking about. I don’t even like basketball, but right now everyone in the Cleveland sports bubble is losing their shit. I imagine outside of Cleveland nobody gives a shit.

    Your bubble seems to be linux. You think linux is more prominant than it is. Right now desktop linux is at a 5% highest ever user base. It has nothing to do with people ditching windows. It has nothing to do with privacy concerns. It has everything to do with Valve making huge progress towards gaming on linux. People are taking their old “not good enough for windows” pcs, and suddenly their gaming lifespan covers more.

    Because again. Nobody is saying linux is bad. What it does, it does well if you know what you’re doing. What I’m saying is nobody cares about any of that until they have a desire to use a pc, that isn’t windows. Most people are just ditching pcs completely because for watching youtube, and browsing facebook, and recording tiktoks, why do you need anything more than a low end cell phone? Why buy a pc during a time when prices are sky high, when they get what they need from the thing already in their pocket?

      I want your energy. I’m going to use this one in the future, thanks.
