Just tried desktop Linux again in 2025 after being told "it's better now" for the 87th time.
First 5 minutes: I had to Google how to install a browser because there were 6 different package formats and none of them worked.
Wanted to install Zoom? Terminal. Drivers? Terminal. Changing my theme broke the UI in 3 places. Terminal to fix it.
Still no native Adobe apps, no proper CAD tools, no DAW worth using unless you're into 2006 aesthetics and jackd spaghetti.
Everything feels like a high school group project duct-taped together by people who rage at UX design.
But hey, at least I can rice my taskbar to look like a sideways Windows 95 start menu.
Meanwhile on Windows: double-click installer, done.
Linux is great... if you're a masochist with Stockholm Syndrome.
No wonder it dominates on servers but still can't crack 3% desktop market share lmao.

>not a shill post btw guise I swer

Not my experience, Jjay

I just installed Bazzite, it detected my hardware correctly, no further config needed apart from pairing my Dualsense controller
Apparently KDE "just works™" now, no problems with Wayland either

Linux is basically mandatory if you use your computer for work and aren't doing something like software engineering. I genuinely can't imagine having any white-collar job and not using microsoft office (not usable on linux).

>>105970642
yes i know, it's hilarious to think about. boomers still heavily use access too, btw.

Filtered. Go back to your mac

What kind of person requires both CAD and DAW?
Also Linux is at 5%.
