These stories always feel so bizarrely insulting. Now listen bros, my girlfriend is a total dunce but even she, a woman, managed to follow instructions and execute an install wizard, just like a competent man would. And that is why 2024 is the year of the Linux desktop. #feminism
Well half of it, the other half being that there is some magic “technicalness” to reading a wizard. If you aren’t doing weird partitioning shit on Linux it’s literally like enter your username, password, time zone, and wifi information. It’s not fucking hard.
Now if you find me a Linux distro that supports out of box tpm + secureboot + dual boot without requiring Cthulhu-style arcane rituals…sign me up.

My actual point is that most people are idiots who can’t read instructions. I’m not insulting women, I’m insulting everyone.
I’ll remember to simply omit her gender in the future.
Tell you what, show that post to your girlfriend and see what she says. If she’s chill I’ll take it back.
The important part is that she is non-technical, not that she’s a woman.
I agree, that’s my point
