And those discussions on the WAN Show really highlight how much of a bubble some people live in. People disagreeing that there's anything wrong with the Linux way of doing things. People not realizing that there are plenty of people who sit in a spot between hacker nerd and web browsing grandmother.
Linus is coming at it from a very realistic angle, but some people are very defensive about the criticisms. They're basically telling him he's "holding it wrong".
The Linux community needs to listen to criticisms and find ways to improve the user experience. The nature of choice when it comes to everything you run on Linux means that nothing needs to be compromised for the power user. So what's the harm in making the default experience more friendly and seamless?
- cle 5y ago> People disagreeing that there's anything wrong with the Linux way of doing things There is a lot wrong with Linux usability. But Linux != desktop environments. The main usability problems that I've encountered with my non-tech friends are app availability and hardware support. Neither of those will be affected by rewriting a desktop environment from scratch in another language.
