Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

    you don’t have to use all of the app containers things, pacman, apt or whatever your distro uses is often enough.

    if you don’t have previews at all, your system is completely broken and fucked up

    if you get a command not found, well you just need install the missing tool…

      I don’t even know what these words mean.

      What are “previews”?

      if you get a command not found, well you just need install the missing tool…

      …what tool!?

      I’m constantly genuinely surprised at how Linux users are unable to grasp why people don’t want to use it.

        Your points are all entirely fair. It also surprises me how quite a few people don’t get it.

        And it’s not that many requisites to fix it either.

        A) don’t break shit on updates. This is the worst thing that could happen.

        B) There needs to be a clicky app store. Just one. No options. No pick your repos. No pick between flatpak and whatever else. Just a visual app store you click an app and it install. You click to remove it gets removed.

        It’s seriously not that much you’d think.

        Having that said. If you do choose to endure through the learning curve. It’s mostly worth it. But fuck. It’s such a dumb self imposed learning curve.

          The biggest strength of linux, is also its greatest flaw and weakness.

          Is that if people disagree with what a projects doing, they can split off, make their own version of the project, and now that has to compete with the other project, as well as the 5 others that are out there.

          So things just keep diluting, and spreading out, when it should be going in the opposite direction for a good user experience.
