Windows 11, for all its faults, enables me to do the things I want to do on a computer. Likewise Android, and to a lesser degree even iOS and MacOS I admit.
Linux however demands me to do the computer, it doesn't enable me to do anything because I'm too busy doing computer bullshit. This isn't necessarily surprising, since the goal of Linux (more accurately FOSS) is to use FOSS and isn't concerned about what I need/want to do.
So no, most people (or at least myself) will not move from Windows to Linux. I use computers to do things, not preach the holy scriptures of FOSS.
- Zambyte 3y agoWhich decade was the last one you used GNU/Linux in?
- sbuk 3y agoIt’s getting better, and with more people working with browser based tools the underlying OS is becoming less relevant. That said, the Gnome folks do seem user hostile. And I get that most Linux distro users like to tweak their config (part of the joy of their experience), it does lead to choice paralysis for a lot of folks. Add that hardware support can still be hit and miss (I concede that it has improved massively), it’s still not the computing panacea that the more enthusiastic and vocal proponents would have you believe. Likewise, neither are macOS or Windows panaceas, nor are they as repugnantly shit as those same folk would like to tell you either.
