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".
Oh I agree a 100%. I was just expanding on what you said because despite these flaws I genuinely think Linux is usable for the majority of people right now, even tho without actually systemic change I doubt it is going to become widespread like you said. But to be fair, Linux adoption is rising faster and faster, even if it is still small. Last I checked, I think Linux already had the same number of g*mers as Mac if I'm not mistaken.
Also, something you might find interesting, there was a time when the Brasilian government was trying to adopt FLOSS, there's this hour long great video by the Brasilian Marxist tech youtuber Zawacki that goes into it. And even tho this never really took off, there are Open Source and Libre software the government develops here, which I think is cool.
There's also this other cool video/react he made about the development of Lua, which I only learned was Brasilian when it popped in my timeline. It's all in portuguese, so I hope youtube's auto subtitle is good enough.
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
