I’m relatively old, and spent some time teaching people how to use computers, both as a job and voluntarily. I don’t do that anymore as much, but there are a lot of people who continue using me as tech support because I like helping people.
My mom is nearly 80, pre-school teacher by education. She converted from Windows 10 to Linux with me giving her instructions on the phone, and even since the amount of problems she need my help with fell by at least an order of magnitude. Meanwhile her librarian friend converted to 11 and she needs help constantly, even though she was able to use 10.

Honestly, I don’t think so. I saw people do both, I helped people do both. Especially if you go with KDE, for a developed Windows user learning how to do random OS maintenance on Linux is often easier than to understand what they fucked up in 11. For not a poweruser it’s even less complicated, you’re asking your IT guy anyway, as long as all your tasks are being done it doesn’t matter.
It wasn’t the same when people were going from 7 to 10.

It’s so much easier than you think, it’s not even funny

Yes, quite a bit actually.

For everyone. 5% pedestrian fatality at 32km/h vs 85% at 64km/h.

The same way slopgen cleverly went around seemingly unbendable coryright laws: by ignoring the shit out of it, and half-scaring half-bribing the governments and the public to allow them to do whatever the fuck they want.

The problem is, and the reason I got this angry, is that when you discovered something you didn’t understand, instead of actually trying to learn, you created a narrative, devised the idea, and started this conspiratorial stuff, spreading it to a bunch of gullible idiots. And when you got feedback on that, you got defensive, and now it’s apparently my job to explain you everything, and you’re absolved of everything.
That’s exactly how conspiracy theories start and propagate. That’s exactly the mindset that is so dangerous and so deadly.
I’m not gonna explain you why you’re wrong, because I want you to learn how to look for the information on the internet, and I want you (and everyone really) to maybe get into a habit of searching for the info on stuff you don’t know, before formulating theories.

You need 30kmph for it to be safe, and I’m talking proper 30 kmph, not “the sign says 30 but the road is straight and I feel quite safe being two drinks in” 30 kmph

Man, knowing nothing about what you’re talking about and being confidently paranoid is an amazing way to actually miss the ways the corpos are fucking you.
It’s too complicated to even begin to describe why what you’re saying is embarrassingly wrong, and that’s actually ok, not knowing how your phone works is not something against you, being confidently incorrect and not even wanting to learn is.
