>Just installed Linux in 2025 because some neckbeard on /g/ told me it was "finally ready."
>Spent 6 hours trying to install a web browser because there are now **three** competing package managers (apt, Snap, Flatpak), and *none* of them agree on where anything is.
>Tried to launch an app, and it opened in a completely different theme than the rest of the system.
>KDE crashed, GNOME lagged, XFCE looked like a 2002 refugee camp.
>Every fix I looked up started with “open terminal.”
>**Imagine needing a text-based interface to update your GPU drivers in the year of our Lord 2025.**
>No Photoshop, no After Effects, no Premiere, no industry-standard anything — just 30 GitHub repos from some guy in Bulgaria that haven’t been updated since 2021.
>"Just use GIMP bro" — yeah let me redraw every icon manually and pray it exports correctly.
>Meanwhile on Windows: double-click .exe, done.
>Linux users cope by ricing their system for 8 hours to make it look like macOS and then take screenshots they post to a dead Mastodon thread.
>"Actually I use Arch" — cool story bro, enjoy compiling your kernel every Tuesday for fun.
>Linux on the desktop is still just a LARP for Reddit power users and YouTube tech channels.
>It's been 30 years. Still can’t drag and drop a file without it breaking.
>But hey, at least it’s FOSS — *Free Of Sensible Software.*
