I’m not sure which part of the parent you’re claiming can’t be serious. It matches my experience very closely. I do have a hard time believing there are millions of people using Linux as their primary desktop OS though. Dev machines sure, but actual non-developers?
Linux is great from a terminal. Using it as a daily OS with GUI is terrible. Every time I talk to someone who claims otherwise they end up dropping some sort of “sure, well _x_ took some work” or “well I don’t really care about _x_ anyway”.
Maybe not bamboo splinters under your nails torture, but extremely unpleasant.
- sofixa 5y agoLook around this thread, multiple people are saying they've installed Linux distros for relatives, even older ones, and it works. There are OSes and DEs designed to be easy for newcomers ( Pop OS, Cinnamon, etc.). Again, it isn't perfect, but no desktop OS is.
