"Nothing about Linux on the desktop "works fine". It's horrible." Strongly disagree. I have no trouble getting around in KDE, Cinnamon, Mate, XFCE or i3. They

  <rant sorry="yes"> Somewhat disagree. I use GNU/Linux-based OSes as my primary systems (because alternatives are less usable for my purposes), and I perceive them all being an ugly mess of barely cooperating pieces of software with piles of hacks to force those to work together. Seriously, I don't have enough fingers on my hands to count different UI toolkits (every other one having its own font rendering, duh), service/daemon management subsystems, audio subsystems and VFS implementations, each having incompatible API and behaving differently. Every other program has its own standards - what would happen upon just clicking a link heavily depends on where you do this. Most software "somewhat works", not "works just fine". Besides, maybe, the very core GNU userland, which is, indeed, rock solid and quite consistent. I'm unaware of alternatives, though. Fear, there aren't any. </rant>
