I can relate to this. My solution is to go old and away from the mainstream:
>Leenux with unmodded XFCE
>Retro consoles if you like vidya
>Replace everything else with analogue/mechanical solutions
It's a long difficult process, but I am getting there, and so should you, OP

These are just examples, mind you. There's more to this than that obviously

Hating automation and technology implicitly is brown behavior. You should really only hate when products price outweigh the opportunity cost saved or have hacker hostile hardware. Hackable hardware maximizes your liberty and makes whatever shalala more adaptable for the future. Being complex doesn't imply either of these things.

Bitch did you read the thread? Just to be clear I'm not OP, I just think this reply's retarded.

Don't buy a smart fridge is all I can say. There are many "not smart" alternatives to everything and tbh I hope that won't ever change because otherwise it's a catastrophe waiting to happen.

yup. so much shit these days, even when it has decent intentions/ideas, is poorly designed or made, often complicated for no clear reason. one could rant endlessly about it.

Technology is literally becoming more and more normalfagged and retardproof these days, AI is literally the ultimate abstraction for retards and normalfags to have easy access to technology

Setting up linux is easier than windows, debian took me 30 minutes to install and set up some basic settings to my liking, windows took 1 hour and a half.

>Emulate vidya
Not even that. Straight up buy a used console, some games for it, and play. OP didn't want to overcomplicate things so this is the easiest way to play

Windows really did take that much to update everything, it was unusable during updates due to missing drivers + updates slowing down the system (And I have good internet so esl infrastructure is not a bottleneck)

I thought that by "complicated" you meant software bloat and feature creep which I'd agree with. For most applications it is not even necessary to have a graphical user interface, I use mininalistic terminal applications for many common tasks. However, it appears that you are simply too retarded to use the simplest modern technology designed with sub-80IQ Indian users as their primary user demographic. Software has never been more dumbed-down than today.

Are you trying to say that I'm wrong? Which part exactly? If you think that software was easier to use at any point in time before now you are wrong. The majority of Gen Z people don't even know what a filesystem is because their goyphone obscures it. If you think that many common graphical programs cannot be replaced with mininalistic terminal ones explain you are also wrong, unless you have a very different definition of what a common program is. And unless you think that loading an entire web browser every time you run a text editing program (vscode), a chat program (signal, discord, element) a vpn program (mullvad app, openvpn connect), password manager (bitwarden, 1password), notes program (obsidian) or whatever other common programs you use is not bloat you also cannot dispute the last point.

What you are saying is pretentious and retarded normies shouldnt have to learn the terminal for these internet brownie points theres nothing wrong with gui or webapps because they are simple and easy to use for the people that dont want to bother with computers(aryan)
If you have assburgers(aryan) have a axe wound or are a pseudo intelectual you can use mimimal terminal apps for absolutely free too idk why you are so obsessed with mainstream computers being easy to use and learn

It's a fairytale if you're mentally deficient and can't do basic shit on your own.

tsmt. I assume that OP wants a really simple version of Windows without all the unnecessary features and retarded hand-holding that just complicates things. Going full OPSEC Demon can also be complicated and not everyone wants to remember 6 gorillion commands just to rename a file.

Fedora workstation is so ezpz and good wingoys users would have no trouble migrating if they learn how to use repos and wine

I know this is trying to make fun of this claim, but you can watch tutorials and at least learn how to install the distro. It's not rocket fucking science

Or use Fedora Store if you're really lazy

Really if fedora stops obsessing over having only open source drivers and gets more default repo apps its would be THE os to replace windows

If only there was a simpler method to get linux on ur pc then flashing a drive going via bios unlocking safeboot etc etc, this i think is the biggest gatekeeper to mainstream linux
