    For me it’s:

    Step 1: Google

    Step 2: Open stackoverflow link

    Step 3: Read a bunch of people yelling at OP about why their question/issue is dumb and that they need to Google more.

    Step 4: Find what might possibly be an answer to the question but it is written in a way that leaves out half the knowledge I would need to correctly interpret the answer because this person just assumes I know everything there is to know about programming already. Meaning I would never have need to ask the question in the first place, duh.

    Step 5: Leave computer in disgust and maybe try rubbing two sticks together to make a fire that I can use to burn everything down…

    And that is why Linux isn’t as widely distributed as Windows. Linux is great, if you know what you are doing. But most of the world doesn’t have the time needed to learn Linux well enough to avoid major fuck-ups like this.

    Linux gives you a wall of text when all the user did (at least what they thought they did) is say install this program. The system ask “Are you sure?” And the user is like “Yes, just do it!” I can’t imagine anything on Windows doing that lol.

    I like Linux and I think it’s great, but I can certainly understand why the majority of people are wary of it.















  • I have used this method for wood plank flooring.

    Have someone stand on the gap of the two boards (they should be ensuring the two boards are level with each other.)

    Take a pry-bar (crowbar) and push the flooring from the edge (may have to remove quarter-round that is covering it).

    Basically you are pushing the entire floor to get the boards to snap together. The person standing on the gap helps to ensure the boards are level with each other and prevents the other side of the flooring from moving. It can take some trial and error to figure out. You want enough weight on the opposite side so that the planks will snap together.

    I haven’t worked with vinyl planks so not too familiar with them. With the wood ones you had to be careful not to break the tongue sections.
