>is the reason for 99% of Linux bugs UI issues and software install problems
how do we fix this?

kek
I still don't understand the purpose of many groups

never had an issue with it
but I know some retards that were like
>I can't ./shit
>lets chmod -R 0777 ~

>want to have a secondary drive automount at boot
>need to perform a 14-hour chant in Ancient Sumerian and personally visit Finland to ask for Linus Torvalds' written permission

The Commodore64 is what true personal computing should had become --the model of the User/Programmer, to define our relationship with computers exactly as a function of "to use this computer you necessarily have to program it". Why do I need to setup permissions on my computer if I'm the sole user? Why do I need to set myself as sudoer? Effectively, Loonix people are deluded that Mainframe wannabes can be personal operating systems.

I know there's a very good reason for permissions and there's a very good reason why the C64 model didn't take hold: not everyone is a programmer and people actually need safeguards not to segfault themselves every day, but come the fuck on.

Don't use fstab. Sounds weird since that's what it is designed for but it causes a bunch of problems if mounting fails.
Instead use crontab.

@reboot mount /dev/sdx /mnt/location

I find a bigger issue is missing dependencies.
When a new version comes out they throw out the old one.
Pro-tip: you can put random libraries in a folder and point to it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/username/Downloads/some_random_garbage_I_downloaded_and_want_to_run_once and not clutter up your system

appimages solve it
kinda like .app in mac

best post

Hot take, Linux should just copy mac and there's nothing wrong with that. Both are unix-like so the mac way of doing things is just natural. Mac's UI was originally copied off of XFCE after all.
The desktop should be just a front-end to a tightly coherent and harmonic system configuration.
