For me the article boils down to this:
> No, hear me out. See, Linux users don’t care how much easier we say it is in our non-Linux worlds. Sure, they say it’s because of open access and free as in scotch ale and yadda yadda yadda, but really? They like the challenge.
This statement is completely unsubstanicated. If you don't agree with it, don't bother reading the article, it all henges on it.
- tinco 10y agoThe article is not actually about desktop Linux. The author tries to draw an analogy, it does not actually matter much whether it resonates. The article boils down to: using an iPad for your day to day tasks is possible but so restrictive you might wonder why people would try to. Much like many people try (tried) to use Linux for day to day tasks and found it is (was) too restrictive. I myself can't argue. My current main os is NixOS and I've found it usable but as a newbie much more restrictive than for example Ubuntu or Arch. Would I recommend it? Would you like to use the next generation of more perfect operating systems? Only if you like a bit of a challenge..
