  • In my opinion, it is perceived difficulty that keeps people from using it. Most basic users will use the OS that is installed on the computer when it ships and never stray from that. It often takes another Linux user to introduce someone to it before they will use it.

    Those concerns you mentioned are basically non existent for a low level user who just wants to do email, internet, and word documents, which covers a decent chunk of home windows users. Not all, of course, but many.









  • Every time I’ve tried to use a bidet, I’ve hated it. The water feels uncomfortable and sudden, and then I feel like I either can’t get dry with toilet paper and get chapped later, or it breaks up from the water and leaves pieces everywhere. The air dry varieties seem to contribute to chapped butt too. I know some people use wash cloths, but frankly the idea of leaving butthole cloth out in the bathroom weirds me out also.

    What is the secret to enjoying these things? Am I just too damn American for them?


  • I generally agree that I think there are bigger fish to fry that don’t bring any joy to the user. I smoke weed and smoked cigarettes in the past and have no illusions about their safety, but at the same time I recognize that I get a benefit from it and it outweighs the risk for me.

    I was simply trying to point out that this is actually aimed at their primary cause of death rather than being a simple scapegoat to take focus off of other issues.
