Speak for yourself I suppose. I can hop between Linux (KDE, Gnome, whatever) and Windows and still feel like my muscle memory for OS interactions and application shortcuts still works. There are minor differences, but things like copy and paste still work properly.
When I try to use a Mac, everything is just ... different. CMD instead of Ctrl, buttons on the other side of windows, inconsistent maximize logic between programs, whatever Finder is supposed to be doing with folder navigation. It's certainly learnable with effort, and I can move around the OS competently now with some practice, but it's just unpleasant enough that I'd rather not use it as my daily driver.
- Aurornis 2y agoI wasn’t talking about long time Linux users like yourself. I was referring to people who have been using Windows for years and were looking for something to switch to. > I can hop between Linux (KDE, Gnome, whatever) If you’ve been using Linux long enough to be familiar with KDE and Gnome and even know the difference between them, you’re very firmly a Linux enthusiast user. It’s easy to forget that the average computer user isn’t really interested in the details of their window management. They want the OS to get out of the way and support them, not be something they’re actively invested in.
- notarget137 2y agoI think you overestimate how much people don't really care what OS they are using and familiar with. For non-expierienced people Linux will look as exactly the same black box as the previous one. It is bad for intermediate users that are familiar with the system but not enough to be an administrator.
