Most of my friends use Google Docs for writing stuff, Gmail for emailing, Whatsapp Web for chatting, YouTube and Netflix for videos, Spotify for music, and Chrome for browsing the web. This is literally 95% of the way they use their computer, and these things work exactly the same in Linux.
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoSure. But Linux doesn't do any of that any better than another OS, and the remaining 5% there's a decent chance it disrupts their workflow, and is thus worse. The effort of switching alone is a substantial downside, so Linux needs some substantial advantage towards accomplishing a desired task to get people to switch from other OSes. For developers, Linux is often worth switching to because so many dev tools have first-class Linux support, or are Linux-only. Most other domains aren't like that.
