No doubt that Linux - the kernel - is one of the best open source project ever happened. Linux - the OS, the user space - is another story. The user space things of Linux based OS are bloated and just pain to work with. Everybody is fighting about different set of tools in this space and nothing is coherent and that's why there never was Linux desktop year and never will be.
- camgunz 11y agoMaybe if you're talking about GNOME/Unity/KDE or whatever. But really, if you just use a window manager + whatever apps you want, it's tough to beat Linux if you know what you're doing. Is it a pain that you can't do stuff like watch Netflix or edit Word docs/Excel spreadsheets? Yeah, but that's not really Linux' fault, and a Free Software argument is kind of OT.
