I’m curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

You’re focusing on the wrong part of my statement
He’s right, most people don’t install an OS. They use whatever it comes with.
Jesus Christ 🤦♂️
Linux is user-friendly, people are just used to Windows and that scares them to learn about Linux… but KDE and many desktops are much better than any iOS or Windows system… Only Windows XP were pretty good with the UI, just too old right now.
Nope. Not true. Windows has an intuitive and easy to use GUI for everything. Linux depends on CLI for basic functions with commands that aren’t even the same across the various distros. It’s as simple as that.
Nope, Not true, Linux has as GUI to do anything you need, you can install LibreOffice and use Excel easier than on Windows. You don’t even need to download stuff from unknown websites, so that’s even a security feature for someone that don’t really know how to use computers. I know people that only have used Linux, and they are not technical, that says Windows is so bad and not-intuitive, the way you need to manage things, now Windows 10 and Windows 11 has mixed interfaces/UI to do things, full of bloated ads and apps that you don’t even need… I think you don’t see this clearly.
Look, I just ran into another example. SimpleX just released a desktop version. Only they only offer a .deb file. Go to search for how to install this on Fedora. I have to install a whole other program just to install this program. How do I install that program? Straight to the CLI with you.
The Windows version is a .exe so all I had to do is download it and click it and it literally just installs itself.
Are you sure? I thought the “desktop version” of simplex was currently just a cli program for windows too. Have you tried it? I just checked their site and don’t see anything about a non-cli desktop client still.
@blkpws for me i have to download binaries from website or their git repo. Ubuntu store either dont have them or is stuck in an ond version. Recently installed a snap on my colleagues pc which was released in 2018. Thats 5 years old.
Nope. Not true. You are definitely not seeing this clearly.
