No, that's just plain wrong. Me, my family and everyone in my company use Linux exclusively for everything, and did so for the past 15 years. We use it for photo editing as well as CRM, video editing as well as videoconferencing, gaming as well as office management, etc.
- phendrenad2 5y agoBut at what cost? What did your family give up in terms of time, money, mental load, and having to do things on Android or iOS because we use Linux in this household?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoSure, it seems to work well enough for you, but what are you asserting? That everyone else who is claiming Linux Desktop isn't a good fit for what they use a computer for is intellectually lazy? I think that's a trap Linux Desktop evangelists have fallen into because they can't stand to recognize the truth that maybe a collection of fragmented pseudo-platforms cobbled together from disparately developed software --mostly by hobbyists-- just isn't actually as good at a lot of things as something developed by one well funded professional team as an actual platform. I think the way some of the Linux Desktop community denigrates people who don't use it and pretends that there are no legitimate reasons anyone reasonably competent wouldn't is doing the community as a whole a great disservice and has been for twenty years. Not only are they driving otherwise interested parties away, but they're also refusing to admit to deep seeded problems that subsequently are never addressed.
