Honestly, I agree with @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net

Ok fair enough, but I wouldn't have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.

I'm not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.

These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It's also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.

Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic "use Linux".

To be fair most internet recipes suck ass. They mostly presuppose you have a working kitchen and not the landlord special

i just add "simple" or "one pot" to the end when i'm looking for a new recipe to try out, usually works out for me

Also most are just that, single recipes, where you don’t get taught how to use up the rest in a home ec sense.

fair, though that's a skill you can pick up really quickly

I'd argue it's mostly the cook times if you follow them. All my landlord special kitchens had 0 heat control bar on/off which makes medium low heat tedious at best.

I don't think that's true but in the sense of it being sort of treatbrained where you refuse to eat the slop (positive).
