Can you elaborate? Would you prefer the Linux ecosystem to remain less user-friendly, to maintain whatever principles you have in mind? Also, what principles are you referring to?
- A4ET8a8uTh0 5y agoI think the biggest one is this: "Each Program Does One Thing Well." followed by: "Store Data in Flat Text Files." I can't really say new programs adhere to either of these principles. In fact, it seems those seem to be actively shunned. I enjoy PopOS and I still have Vietnam flashback to my very first linux install way back when ( I installed it next to Win95 and results were not fun since it was my dad's PC ), but some things were better.. even if they were less user-friendly. So yes. I think my real answer is yes -- it should be less user-friendly if that is the only way to maintain those pricinples.
- Karsteski 5y agoI don't see why either of those things is contradictory to a good user experience, ngl
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y ago> I can't really say new programs adhere to either of these principles. In fact, it seems those seem to be actively shunned. They are being actively shunned, largely because they didn't actually work that well outside of running terminal programs that interfaced largely with ASCII text.
- howinteresting 5y agoIt isn't clear to me why either of those should be dogmatically stuck to. They're useful for a certain class of software, and actively harmful to others. For games, which are meant to be an integrated experience, they're mostly non-sequiturs.
