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.

    Switching from Word to LibreOffice Writer was hard. Sure, I figured out documents on my own, but it still won’t print envelopes correctly (the printer doesn’t respect the margins and orientation compared to my Windows install).

    I assume changing platforms and apps is harder when you use your computer to make money. I feel for the OP in the screenshot. Assuming his hardware is compatible, I’m sure he could take some time to learn a FOSS alternative but it’d be a while until he was proficient enough to make a living. The commenter was dickish but correct. Still, let’s not assume switching apps is as easy as switching gas stations.
