That question presumes that crashing is the only axis upon which computer users experience pain.
Linux users said the same thing in 1996. It didn’t work then, either.
Anyone working on desktop Linux should know they’ve hit saturation with their current approach. What‘s missing or broken that’s causing Mac users to prefer a system that crashes once a day?
- Joeri 6y agoAs a macos and linux user I’d say linux has the same problems it always had: - driver support (even my thinkpad has an unsupported fingerprint driver, and a buggy intel wifi driver) - fragmentation that affects user experience. For example, there is still the gnome / kde divide, and using a combination of apps from both is visually jarring. - lack of microsoft and adobe apps, lack of high quality productivity apps (e.g. i would love a pixelmator equivalent) - many paper cuts, like how copy and paste of images only works half of the time - when things break, you have to drop down to the terminal to fix them, instead of running some automated repair wizard
