This is very quickly becoming untrue. Actually, I'd argue that it's been somewhat not the case for some situations, that I've personally encountered, for over a decade. There's times when I search forums for days, finally find someone who's experiencing the exact same issue as me. The post is marked solved! Fuck yeah!
The post:
Two months after initial post:
Me: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Are you honestly telling me there aren't people asking basic questions that could be solved with a google search? Don't get me wrong the kind of question you are talking about does exist, but that's now what I am discussing here.
Oh, no totally, there's people asking questions that Google used to be able to answer. Google is now a burning tire fire, and getting a useable answer from it can now be a full time job...is what I'm saying.
Then you use DuckDuckGo like I do. Not every search engine has gone to complete shit. Google was just an example. Obviously it's not the current meta in terms of search engines.
Ok, tell me how many people who would be using Linux, that might have issues looking up things, that wouldn't default to Google. There's a significant portion of the population that thinks Google is the only search engine.
Someone using Linux Mint would be a good guess as I don't think they default to Google.
