I’m curious as to what everyone’s reasons are! The Linux desktop has came quite a far ways in the last few years and is improving every day. I’d say for most people, Linux could easily replace Windows as their daily driver nowadays.

    Not op but it’s just a pain in the ass to learn esoteric, poorly documented commands and navigate a string of cryptic error messages just to access my slop when I’m too tired to exist after work

        You are doing your handle justice lmao, respect

        Idk I just can’t be arsed to learn what sudo rf | -m --po "pigpoopballs" -f does, sudo is gibberish, rf is gibberish, | is gibberish, - is gibberish, -- is gibberish, m might as well stand for “meaningless”, and I don’t want to spend an hour on stackoverflow reading a five-way argument written at a technical depth that is several university-level classes beyond my understanding, just give me a gui that works and has nigh-universal support. I look at my computer and I’m like “English mfer do u speak it???”

        If I was setting up a hardcore coding environment or like doing a project with a raspberry pi then I see the utility, but not to connect to my projector at 11pm

        Just my ignorant ass opinion tho
