Linux is a viable alternative to Windows/MacOS if you stand back and squint.
Not up close due to the vast number of inconsistencies.
This could only be fixed by a user experience built from the ground up by a single company.
- regularfry 10mo agoOnly true if those inconsistencies actually matter to your workflow. Not going to deny that they exist, obviously, but their impact is largely overplayed (and gratuitously downplayed on Windows, in my experience).
- wewewedxfgdf 10mo agoYes Windows also sadly has become very inconsistent. MacOS is highly consistent compared to Windows. Perhaps Linux operating systems like Steam or ChromeOS might finally create a beautiful and consistent UI.
- lawn 10mo agoKDE is vastly better than Windows already.
- yunnpp 10mo agoTo be clear, are you suggesting Windows is the standard of consistency? Even modern macs fall short of the UX Apple has traditionally been known for...
- WolfeReader 10mo agoPlease give an example of an "inconsistency" which makes Linux not a "viable alternative to Windows/MacOS"
- 9763468975325 10mo agoSpoken like a true Windows UX aficionado. Who doesn't love multiple system settings apps, a mix of minimal new context menus and overcrowded legacy context menus just one more click away.
- tredre3 10mo ago> Who doesn't love multiple system settings apps, a mix of minimal new context menus and overcrowded legacy context menus just one more click away. I get that you're making a Windows joke, but this describes Linux equally well.
- p_ing 10mo agoActually having just installed OpenSuSe w/ KDE, certain right click menus just generate errors OOTB, or control panels flat out don't work. The UX leaves a lot to be desired.
- jaapz 10mo agoHave you worked with windows recently? It basically consists entirely of inconsistensies
