I swapped to Linux in the last month. But honestly being able to use my phone as a backup made me not worry about needing a computer right then.

Cuba is an interesting one.

The problems with Cuba are political prisoners and their handling of AIDS. And a huge chunk of issues intertwined with the trade embargo.

As with all nations, it could be better, but it's far from the worst nation in the world.

Taking suggestions for new media isn't a sign of youth. Imagine having a friend recommend a book and saying "I'm no callow youth! I'll select my own media thank you!"

I'm not young and I still will play a game because it's suggested to me. If everyone tells me a particular game/movie/book/restaurant is amazing, I'm going to try it.

Taking the advice of others and trying new things isn't a sign of inexperience.

Jeffrey Combs is the result of those aliens from "the Chase".

The issue is new users.

If you have a vague understanding that Linux has distros and to switch to Linux, you'll likely Google "best Linux distro." Results that say "they all are good for different reasons" are unhelpful. Having sort through 50 options isn't helpful.

New users want to know what to install. This means that some distros get hyped up as the best, and then people point out the cracks.

Until there is a clear and objective list of distros with pros and cons labeled the cycle will continue.
