This was from Explaining Computers recent video about how Linux users shouldnt gate keep and criticise people for choices. Surprise, fuckers! Comments fill up with people telling everyone else how wrong they are…
I say “guy” in a generic sense, not a gender specific sense.
But the person in the original comment is wrong. “The software and driver support isn’t there” means that appropriate software does not exist. If they were being honest they would have said “Ableton doesn’t support Linux and I want to stick with Ableton so it doesn’t work for me.” Their inaccurate comment could discourage people who do not have a strong preference toward Ableton from trying Linux.
In fairness to your point, this screenshot alerted me that reaper is on Linux which is nice to know. I use it sometimes and hadn’t yet thought to check
Someone buys an expensive car. They say “I cant use the railway!” Are you going to tell them they’re wrong? We dont know if they live next to a railway line. They’re also heavily invested in the car and unlikely to pay out for rail tickets.
They didn’t say “I can’t use the railway” they said “the railway doesn’t run to [place the railway definitely runs to]”
Yes. Because they are.
None of which indicates they “can’t use the railway”. It may not be their preferred travel method, which is fine (in the metaphorical sense), but to say they “can’t” use the railway is simply untrue.
