I wanted to take a moment and talk about Linux UX because, let’s face it… it sucks.
Actually, it’s worse than that. Much of Linux’s UX is technically correct and that makes it objectively wrong.
No. I don’t want Linux to be more Windows-like. But I do want the most common Linux desktops to behave in a way that PC-literate folks can wrap their mind around — and do so from minute zero.
I don’t disagree but I also want to flip that around. I’ve been recommended stuff which turned out to be a massive waste of time because it was not ready for general use yet, despite people telling me how easy it was. Then after complaining how that just wasted hour of my time people said "it’s free you are not entitled to anything.
If Linux isn’t ready for general users then we aren’t entitled to waste their time by saying it is.
