Not sure why we have to "sit anybody down" either...that sounds a bit forceful and unnecessary. Last time I checked, "better" is completely subjective.
But for the record, most people think Windows is better since that's what they've voted for with their dollars. Windows won the desktop war. It's got more users, more apps, more consistency, more stability, more commercial support...more everything. People still fighting for desktop Linux to become popular with regular users are like Hiroo Onoda, the japanese soldier who kept fighting WW2 for 30 years. Good luck with that!
- alkonaut 10y agoThe biggest issue imho is that there just isn't a nice consistent desktop story for linux. Making an application with a nice consistent setup and UI experience across all desktop environments and all distributions without having to distribute to several different package repositories or test on these distributions or window managers? Until that works there is no one Linux desktop - only several different Linux desktops, each with too little traction.
