The problem is reality works this way: “If it were good, it would be pre-installed already,” and the other way is basically throwing a tantrum because the world doesn’t work the way you want it to. To the echo chamber of Linux, it’s more of a religion than an OS, so the lies like it’s ready, and if it were just pre-installed are their mythology. A true, unbiased assessment of desktop Linux is that it’s generally only desirable if you’re a web dev and want a similar environment to production. They could go out in the real world and learn the hard truth that it’s far from the “it just works” experience of everything else, but they’d rather hear each other’s lies that Linux is already good enough and ignore that most help posts have people crawling back to the command line like the 1980’s. Just accept the fact Linux fans live in a Facebook like echo chamber (especially here). I am sick of tired of people who think that every time Windows is criticized for anything, it’s the perfect opportunity to pitch Desktop Linux. Desktop Linux has crap power management on most laptops and offers a mix of traditional and “modern” UI just like Windows. They might do it for MacOS, which has a decent app ecosystem and unique hardware offerings, but not Desktop Linux.Īnd then there is the whole question of what those Desktop Linux benefits are for someone with a new or newish laptop and who doesn’t mind setting up a Microsoft account (most users have been trained by iOS and Android to do that as a standard act when setting up a device). Please get this into your Linux cheerleading mind: People are not going to give up the Windows ecosystem and Windows device support for an OS that has no real app ecosystem and iffy device support just to get marginal benefits in return. The hoops people jump through to be allowed to use a mediocre operating system when better alternatives are abundant.
