Linux Desktop: A Collective Delusion

Linux has made significant strides, and in 2023, it's better than ever. However, there are still individuals perpetuating a delusion: that desktop Linux is as user-friendly and productive as its mainstream counterparts. After a few discussions on Lemmy, I believe it's important to provide a clear review of where Linux falls short as a daily driver for average users.

EDIT: can I just make it clear I don’t agree with this article one bit and think it’s an unhinged polemic?

    Also I’m not sure why it doesn’t work, but if it’s just a file access thing (which is usually the issue for me whenever a flatpak is acting up) then it’s like one toggle in Flatseal to unfuck it lol.

      Because… it’s NOT just a file access thing. There are dozens of issues discussion that problem - that affects other browser extensions that also need to communicate other desktop apps - and no universal solution. Not even a working solution in most cases.
