  • I dunno, why would anyone be frustrated by having everything labeled with an incomprehensible acronym and an entirely unique and often vague directory structure with a stringent yet useless file level security?

    Linux is amazing for it’s ability to be customized. That comes with a cost in on ramping new users. Hell, I’m an old user, and what I know is half useless because it’s so old. The end result is that I use linux to run a raspberry pi that shares out instrument data. And that’s all it does. It’s not a desktop, it’s a tool that does a thing. It does that one thing reasonably well, and I don’t have to screw with it. Because I never update it, never connect it to the internet, never install new things. Until I make a new one to do a new thing.

    Honestly I have no idea why anyone would want a linux desktop for daily use. It’s nice to have an environment to set up the device for what it’s going to be doing. But beyond that, it’s usually not even going to have a monitor attached to it.
