There is a large degree of willful ignorance. Its 2024 and the degree of computer illiteracy is astounding.

I was an 80s kid but even I grew up with computers: Atari, Commodore and Amstrad. I then learnt PCs with DOS. All pretty much self learnt from 8 years old as no one else in my family knew shit about computers so I was on my own.

These days computers are so user friendly ad practically run themselves, even Linux but the amount of people who cant perform basic computer tasks even in Windows is unbelievable. Do they even still teach computers at schools anymore?

Why, what is the problem with Manjaro in respect to other distros and would imply someone is mentally impaired to use it?

Haha, ive done the exact same thing for the exact same reason; some years back using Linux Mint. Thought i was screwed but after some research online i found instructions how to reinstall a working kernal using the install usb. +1 for Linux versatility.

I had a similar experience. Tried Linux off and on since the early 2000s but never really got proper hardware support and kept giving up on it; only to try again some time later. Then around 2013 things just started to work and I got a usable experience overall. Though saying that Linux Mandrake did get pretty close at an earlier stage, I believe the accelerated graphics card was the only thing not working at the time (approx 2006-2008).

Now that’s a grumpy Santa I can believe in.
