Do you happen to be a woman?

I had doctors ignore my formal tests and diagnosis to decide within 10 minutes of meeting me that I can't possibly have ADHD.

Then again, maybe it was just your turn with his God complex

I'm sorry, is that a brain fart or did you actually mean to say leftists oppose abortion?

Hard agree there

I'm fine with getting wrinkles and I still keep my skincare going. When I don't, my skin gets very dry and fills with pimples.

There's a middle ground here.

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

I don't mean to intrude or push in any way, but your story sounds familiar and I found Running on empty to be an interesting read, if you ever feel inclined.

Good luck.

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
