Desktop Lunix is 100 different UX designs on top of 1000 semi-functional desktop OSs composed of 10000 pieces of software connected together like spaghetti.
Finally, somebody calling this shit out on Linux users other than me, don't get me started on software compatibility otherwise I would have happily switched to Linux ages ago. It's going to be easier for autists to find a way to fuck with and possibly block Windows 11's spying than it is for me to install New Vegas on a Linux machine.
What's needed is for the Linux community to come up with a linux distro I would call 'normie OS' or something like that. Specifically design it for people like me who don't want to jump through all of the compatibility hoops and no I don't want to use the fucking terminal for everything like it's the 90's and I'm on a DOS machine all over again.
The Linux autists just don't understand the concept of user friendliness which is why their comments on how to use Linux are almost always incredibly unhelpful the socially awkward muppets and they often get mad when you have the audacity to point this all out as an end user giving genuine feedback.
Also, the joke is many of them admit to doing dual boots with Windows, so really this is just them admitting that the problems are there without admitting to it when they offer that as a solution. I'd rather have one OS installed for the sake of simplicity. If these problems just got fixed, I would be happy, but they won't be because too many in the Linux community have their heads up their arses. Say what you will about Linus but he pointed all this out when he tried PoP!OS for the first time and got an extremely bitchy response from the dev.

I've got five bucks that says all it takes is a quick registry hack that's all of about three lines of Powershell that any idiot can run.
The problem is, your average normie expects the computer to work out of the box. And that will in 99.99% of cases be the latest version of Windows with the web browser and app store installed and ready to go with the prospect of installing Microsoft Office or maybe proprietary software that is used in their workplace. If they have to download an image to burn to a USB stick, it's already too complicated. Never mind getting to the prospect of dual booting or partitioning the hard drive. They won't be inclined to switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice. And the chances of a computer from a mainstream store being pre-installed with Linux, a web browser and an app store is zero. Because Windows has a monopoly, everyone expects Windows and manufacturers will only install Windows.
The solution isn't going to be Apple's Mac OS either because they will eventually go the same way, just with a much higher price tag.
The problem is making it compatible for every windows program is not as easy as people might think.
A game designed for linux, will work fine on linux, but will fail horribly on windows (almost assuredly). A game designed for windows, will work fine on windows, but will probably fail on linux.
The problem is everything is designed to work with windows, and until that changes, there is pretty much nothing to autists can do except screech at those continuing to design things for windows.
Windows works, you can bitch about the back end all you want but the fact is it's a breeze to use compared to Linux. I don't want to be forced to defend Microsoft but the Linux users leave me no choice lol.
The other (increasing) issue with Linux is that a lot of the distros (along with other open source projects) is getting taken over by the Woke crowd. openSUSE, for example, recently had a chunk of their mailing list chewing a guy out for asking why a rainbow icon was needed for the upcoming month of degeneracy, and one of the board members literally said people who don't like rainbow flags are rotten flesh who need to be cut out
Microsoft collecting all my data is bad. But at least Microsoft just wants my money, not my head.
Come now.
Does Linux have good UX design yet or is Git still indicative of the Linux ecosystem's approach to users?

Christ, you would think that there would be a combination that's functional for those of us who are decently tech literate but not fucking autists.

So every bit the mess it was when I last tried it back in 2007 with no improvement whatsoever.
Yes. It’s just as bad. I use Mac and Linux exclusively. Linux is a shitshow, no matter the distribution.
It's significantly better than it was in 2007 but nowhere near as good as Windows/Android/iOS and never will be.
And Windows isn't?
