Let's be fair though. Adobe changes the Acrobat interface every two weeks for no reason. PDF has always been an absolute shitshow, super slow, walled garden format. After like 30 years it's still a 30 step process to add a note box with an arrow that looks half decent

Adobe did that to me twice and then I uninstalled it and never gave Adobe another chance. There are plenty of good free pdf editors that I don't need to support such a terrible and greedy company

Recommend me a few. I have Evince & Papers, both the old & new GNOME standards respectfully.

TBH your IT skill set is incomplete if you neglect the most used desktop OS. If you don’t work in IT, then more power to you.

listen man, if you're going to hire me for an IT position, you better assume i will do nothing other than linux, unless you want to pay me a lot more fucking money, or want me to be very mad, all of the time.

Same (I use arch btw). Although I do end up using MacOS at work.

literally (i use arch btw also), though my server runs on debian, so i have that under my belt.

Not true

Millennials think it's them , because they learned how. Gen X knows, because they wrote it.

Adding to this. HMI's change across time and what feels logical/intuitive/common sense to one demographic, might not to another.

I remember a game wouldn't work until i adjusted the screen resolution in like 98

So, the key takeaway is everyone has a different experience, and that is okay.

Yea surprise some people are good at using computers some are bad, has nothing to do with whatever generation someone is apart of, generation labels are so dumb. Literally every "milleinal" I've known comes to me for their computer problems.

How did we fail so hard? Where did we go wrong?

Converting a PDF to Excel repeatedly on Adobe by clearing the browsing history each time, saves you hundreds a year.

There should be a class where they force you to install arch Linux without the automated install script and force people to learn how an OS works, or even make them do a Gentoo installation. You only pass it if you get to a fully functioning PC with a web browser and desktop environment

Why stop at Arch? I had to write my own kernel in college let's make everyone do that.

Yes, I'm posting this to point out the silliness of your idea.

[–] tigolbitties@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

I'd argue more in favor of a desktop, web browser & office suite
