@craftyguy I just noticed that this was split halves. That is awesome. I didn't realize that Kinesis had gone there yet!! How are you liking it otherwise?

@agx Do you have any tips for me getting the Librem 5 phone calls working on Deutsche Telekom? I ask because you are German and I know you are using your L5 a lot. Danke auf jedenfall!!

@thelinuxEXP I don't think this saying is a fallacy, because it has been true, and is still true today. I mean the experience has gotten SOOO much better. But if you actually use a computer for more than just browsing the net, you will need to learn a lot. A lot.

I think this isn't so important anymore, because what you are getting for that time is a system you can trust, and that doesn't collect telemetry. That goes along way today.

@thelinuxEXP nope I don't think that analogy works. Because cooking has never been marketed as free. The saying works because for Linux you will need to learn a lot and if you are not tech savvy you will have even more to learn. It is a barrier to adoption for Linux.

My main point is that giving up your time in this case gets you something other OSes aren't giving you and that changes things.

@thelinuxEXP I suppose we are splitting hairs a bit here. Of course you need to learn things for anything you want to use these days, but my point is that learning on Windows or Mac OS has a support structure in place and countless websites, etc. designed to help you learn. Linux on the other hand has a lot of stuff out there but it is not always written to newby friendly or for the non-tech person. Furthermore because people are getting paid to make Windows or Mac OS easier to use they are.
