Turns out the reply in my thread telling me the best way to combat not caring about Linux is to care about Linux was absolutely correct.
I picked up a laptop, installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I’m already obsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with a PC in a long time and it’s just a cheapo Dell Inspiron 3520.
remember kids, peer pressure is an absolutely valid strategy to convince someone to try something new.

No, I do not like crack.
They best way to stop not liking crack is to start liking it!
That’s clearly the lesson learned from this post.
Just try it. Most people who don’t like crack haven’t even tried it. The single minded obsession of the people who like it mean you should try it
Not licking ass crack?
But… I stopped liking the crack way back when I realized there’s a whole underworld of decent FOSS alternatives to most of the proprietary junk. Now what?!
That’s why we use Linux, free software and no cracks
I do not like it, Sam I Am.
What are you, a loser? Everyone’s using crack. Don’t you want to be cool?
What about cocaine
Loser
Why not?

compared to microsoft, crack gives you a lot more control and cusomisation to fuck your life up on your own terms.

I guess you’ll have to change your username to .sh now.
Or add wine before it.
Or migrate to blender
Please explain. Will it mess with the OS, or why is it worth mentioning? Genuinely curious!

Very true. Exe does not work in Windows, either.

.sh is Linux’s version of .bat. There is no .exe as executables typically don’t have a file extension. This is all assuming you know your file extensions in Windows.
Right, I have written a few bash scripts, so I know about the .sh file extension. Though, I’m wondering if changing the username to .sh is problematic and, if so, why? Is it something the OS can’t handle, or would it just be some sort of gimmicky username?
