Linux has made significant strides, and in 2023, it’s better than ever. However, there are still individuals perpetuating a delusion: that desktop Linux is as user-friendly and productive as its mainstream counterparts. After a few discussions on Lemmy, I believe it’s important to provide a clear review of where Linux falls short as a daily driver for average users.
EDIT: can I just make it clear I don’t agree with this article one bit and think it’s an unhinged polemic?
Definitely some problematic linux users. I agree that your average computer user is probably uncomfortable with installing windows as well. For most people they have never installed anything other than updates.
I think Apple has the most user friendly approach and that is basically load the boot chooser and do a predefined netboot that will download it. Amazes me that nobody including MS has pushed for that feature and being configurable like secure boot.
