Honestly, I agree with @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net
Ok fair enough, but I wouldn't have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.
I'm not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.
These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It's also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.
Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic "use Linux".
As someone who uses Arch and Gentoo Linux and wants to delve into Guix (and have used Linux for a decade now), Linux still has a long way to go to be usable for most people (and I believe more computer education is necessary for the majority of the population), and I don't see development accelerating fast enough to overcome the monopoly of Microsoft, Apple, and Google before we have a revolution. We should try to push people away from proprietary surveillance systems and recover their tech sovereignty, but the development into open source projects is way too underfunded and slow (at least in the West) for a proper open source OS marketshare to manifest until capitalism and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie is abolished. When revolution comes, I imagine phones and computers are mostly out the window until we succeed.
Nah, most people just want a good looking UI and a web browser. Unless you mean it on the slightly more savvy user that need other stuff like some office suite and wants to play games, but even then, I think it's pretty good on that end, it's only when you get to more specific stuff like image editing tools and such that it is lacking heavily.
Don't forget the other camp who just HAVE to play their video game slop. The linux distro must be capable of running 100% of their video games, every single one of them, or they turn into a crybaby puddle and give up. God forbid they have to give up playing the latest battle royale slop
Yeah and it's always followed with the most annoying remark they can muster about Linux lol. G*mers just need to be insufferable.
