Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There’s always software I can’t use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages… last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.
I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?
I think gnome is almost there tbh, has all the things you’d expect of a normal computer
Can’t be expected to go full windows where literally every little buried system feature has a GUI on it
Think anyone who wants to use Linux for their non-techy day to day for the most part can now, I think only problem is with moderately techy people who want to do weird stuff with their machines but don’t know Linux well enough
