    Got to love it when people think they’re making a statement when they’re really just exposing themselves.

    Merging layers? There’s a button on the layer window that does just that. You can also right click -> merge.

    Exporting PNGs? File -> Export -> File Type at bottom of the window -> PNG

    Not that hard unless you’re somehow incredibly inept.

    1. Not really a lot of cases. It only appears that way because the terminal is just efficient so people generally tend to use it over the alternative. Very rarely, if at all, would the average user need to use the terminal at this point. Assuming the end user isn’t using a more advanced distro like Arch or Gentoo.

    2. There’s plenty of ways to achieve that. It largely depends on the desktop env. But the most common ones make it very easy. Though their settings.

    3. Sounds like the end users problem more than Linux’s problem. They don’t have to use the terminal. But a lot of FUD around the subject makes it out like there’s a requirement to use it.

    4. How common is this issue? Package managers handle dependencies automatically so you don’t have issues with needing to install X to install Y to install Z. You just install Z. X and Y are pulled in automatically.

    5. Again that’s the end users issue if they’re incapable of figuring out how to search their issue or how to decide which source is useful to them or not. Installing MC is painfully easy on just about any distro. Just install prism launcher. Every distro should be able to run Minecraft because the game is written in Java. Java’s whole thing is that its code is portable/not platform specific.

    6. Yeah that’s an issue. It should be better than it is. But it’s also not too hard to handle.

    Read about half the article before getting tired of it. This is just complaining about people while doing the same thing but instead of “Old good, new bad” its “Old bad, new good”.

    Just kind of contrarianism under a very thick layer of edge.








  • They just want to shout about them while ignoring paid support for extended life Linux.

    Ironically, you’re just shouting about linux while ignoring the context behind the paid support for “extended life linux”

    The paid support is for enterprise linux distros like Red Hat. This support is aimed at businesses. Not regular end users.

    Regular users can get Long Term Support (LTS) versions of regular distros entirely free. Such as Ubuntu’s LTS versions. With the cool addition of being able to freely move to the next LTS version whenever that comes out to replace the current LTS version.
