The correct way is to use the share button in your notepad app
No, the share button never shows anything useful to me, while also showing a lot of crap like three identical sharing icons for Instagram. What the fuck is the difference, I care not - just don’t use the feature at all
Again, power user. Most people don’t use keyboard shortcuts at all…
First: and I never see people copy-pasting by mouse. So now then, power users must suffer, is that it?
Second: so, anything more complicated than “scroll and watch” is now power usage? Niice. So now remind me, how Linux is such a monstrous hard-to-learn beast in this case?
Again, power user. The search is exactly what you are supposed to use. The directory structure
Flash news: directory structure and settings UI are different things. Also, directories are for power users, so portable software (as in copy-this-directory-to-your-computer-and-run-this file) is for power users? Wow, I’ve been power user since Windows 98! So… do I need to suffer or is Linux such a complicated beast?
What you are doing is taking your pre-learned ways from one OS (probably Windows or Linux) and trying to use another OS as if it was that first one, while ignoring the much more intuitive ways to handle that new OS.
Exactly the point. Original poster (edit: another commenter, this is just one of the threads) just takes his learned ways, then looks at Linux where they don’t work, and declares Linux is too hard because it needs to be learned. What a surprise, right?
That guy is so far up his own rear, he can’t even fathom that someone would be using a device in a different way than he is.
To be fair, his statement “I never see people copy-pasting by mouse” might be correct, but he probably could have left out the second half of the statement and it would still be correct.
You learned one platform to power user level, and now you think every other platform needs to be exactly identical or it is BAD BAD BAD.
Non-power-users never get so stuck in the dirt that they can’t even find their way out. You press the share button and entirely give up because there’s “too many icons” for you, and instead you go digging through the file system, because on Windows 95 that’s what you’d do.
It’s the same thing for all your complaints.

And here is where you are really wrong: Looking through a list of apps in the share menu to find the correct one is not comparable at all with having to read Arch Wiki articles to just get basic functionality like sleep/hibernate or GPU drivers working.
Or to put it differently: How much time does an average Android user spend with getting the GPU of their phone working?
Lol. No, you don’t really get the very thing you pose to be teaching:
When switching to Android/iOS/ChromeOS/… people also aren’t expected to “learn” that OS.
Same way they aren’t expected to learn Linux, same way any switch requires finding out how things are done and what works for you. I have no problem navigating yet another environment, and your stance is just bullshit pretense that switching to Linux is somehow more problematic than switching to anything else
No, but because answering this question would prove that learning a keyboard shortcut is not the same as learning how to use CLI, config files and debugging.

I’ve seen plenty of user right click > select copy, go to a different program and do right click > select paste.
Hell, even I do that when the keyboard is laying too far away or button combos aren’t getting through the remote connection.
Maybe try talking with regular users once in a while.

Of course! That’s what I have missed! Thanks, oh my teacher
You don’t really get it.

Your whole argument is nothing but a tantrum.

I will repeat my argument:
How much time does an average Android user spend troubleshooting their GPU driver?
And I will not answer, because have no wish to listen to your tantrums
No, but because answering this question would prove that learning a keyboard shortcut is not the same as learning how to use CLI, config files and debugging.
Boo-hoo, you dealt with something on Linux. Cry me a river
Well, actually no. I have more interesting things to do
Thank you for proving their point.
Pft. The point being “aaah, I had some difficulty, oooh, Linux haaard”. What a reasonable way to look at things (sarcasm)
