You Linux supremecists are so edgy...

I use Linux sometimes, too... But like... This shit is getting so old.

We get it, you like Linux. Now let people talk about other platforms without constantly talking about your platform.

I only have Linux on my servers at home and at work, as well as on my laptop, and I agree with that, it's arrogant and getting so damn old. Lemmy has such a boner for Linux and loves shoving it in everyone's faces.

your platform.

You do realize you're posting this on a opensource platform, which runs on Linux, and is maintained by volunteers who are enthusiastic about this stuff?

If you don't like all the Linux talk here, feel free to move to a proprietary platform instead, maybe one with a red alien logo...

Because Linux, by its very nature, is the solution to these kinds problems, but if you insist on suffering through using Windows thats on you.

Last time I used Linux it came with its own bag of problems like hunting down drivers and incompatibility issues and random bugs that wouldn't let me use the wifi without digging up solutions in some obscure forum. Maybe it's not the case anymore but I don't hear many people lauding it for its competitive UX and ease of use.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Huh, my experience is the exact opposite. On Linux there was zero hunting for drivers of any kind. At all. They were all just included in the Linux kernel. Out of the box drivers for everything I had.

On windows it was: ok first I need my motherboard chipset driver, now I need my WiFi driver, and now my graphics driver, now the driver for this microphone, and finally the driver for this controller.

Each of which I had to search online for the right website, download an installer, run an installer, and delete the installer afterwards.

To me, that was a much more clunky experience.

GNOME's UX has come a looong way in just like 3 years.

I assume the same is true for KDE now that Valve is investing money in it.

Out of all mainstream desktops, GNOME is the only one which dares to create a new workflow which is simple yet very powerful

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

familiarity of kde is good too.

and its just getting better and better too!
