I like the memes, but that’s it. I use Linux, sure, but I also have to use Windows for a few programs because WINE doesn’t work with said programs, and the alternatives aren’t the best
With that being said, would I prefer Linux to be mainstream? Yes. Will it ever be? Probably not. Too many people just want something that works out of the box and don’t want to spend hours fixing some obscure bug.
I am a nerd. Therefore, I am okay spending time working on my machine and making sure everything runs well. I have previously looked at an OS that doesn’t seem to work or is starting to have issues and completely swap to a different distro using a base I have used and know will work 100% of the time
My experience with Linux is following a guide and sudo apt-get update failing. Like step goddamn 2.
Also some fucking around with machines at work trying to mount flash drives and the guide they gave us saying use sda1 but actually it’s sdb0 that works or some such bullshit.
Oh and having to root chmod everything to even be able to touch it with SCP.
Sda1 is always juat an example. if you already have sda hard drive then your flash drive becomes sdb, etc. But on some syatems it could even read hd0 1.2.etc But why isn’t your DE just automounting the media?
The main purpose is to run some proprietary bullshit so the Linux installs are pretty minimal. They gave us step by step guides to do things but it always ends up with me and Google.
I’m a dev and I already have a headache at my work. If I have to spend time to install a hundreds of dependencies on my personal computer if I want to do something I rather would kill myself. That’s why macOS is just a superior of all OS.
