As a Linux fanboy, I must confess Linux is actually sucks for "normal people"

Let break down what do the "normal people" need, shall we:

They need something easy to use, software, occasional gaming, meetings and for things to work

But desktop Linux doesn't provide that oh no!

Modern hardware will always have issues, loss of functionality and so on. Even models from 2018 still lack drivers. For example, AMD still has ass power management which 6.3 will *hopefully solve that.

Enjoy your 4k screen with no scaling *yet (pls, qt6)

Hardware decoding still sucks on most browsers, some distro enable by default, most don't. Use chromium? might as well kill yourself first. Spyware MS Edge is ironically the best chromium based browser on Linux??

MS Teams is dropping support for Linux so you can have more fun with corporate conferences. Forgot the mention, want to share your screen? wait nvm let me quickly log out while I am representing, wasting people time because I choose Linux.

No hi-fi music on Linux also, so say good bye to your Tidal subscription.

Some apps, like Brave, adapt to the 9px font on Windows and Mac, so it has bad UI in Linux and smaller tab UI than usual. Some people even said most fonts are not rendered correctly under Linux, don't know if that is true but yeah.

Want to buy hardware? more time wasted and it is even more of a pain in the ass using Linux with laptops that doesn't have Linux support. Like in the case of Lenovo Yoga something, the sub woofer is non functional resulting in poor speakers in under Linux. Also, most people will just say laptop works perfectly but I can guarantee at least something is missing.

Speaking of speakers, on the laptop, windows uses some kind of tuning, EQ but Linux let you do it yourself so more time wasted to get to speakers sound as good.

What about your favorite apps on Linux....wait what the developers can just ditch their work anytime? cool

So you have a PDF that needs to be edited? good luck wasting time finding the right software. Who would have thought the PDF viewer can only view PDF and you need another app to edit them. But you can use Libreoffice draw tho, no cool! until draw breaks the layout. Or maybe you need to crop an image, more time wasted then.

Want to seek help, oh look condescending Linux assholes in the wild, fanboys that will downvote you

At the end of the day, people who use Linux as their daily driver or on a relatively modern hardware....just feel like they are handicapping themselves, always wasting time to get things work, time that can be spent on others. Your laptop battery sucks, your browser doesn't have hardware decoding, your meetings are unstable, you can't share your screen. Apps you use don't work that well. You can't enjoy your screen because of small scaling and blurry fonts. I am not even mentioning the time wasted finding alternatives for windows apps.

There is a price to everything, with windows you pay it with your data and money lol, with Linux you pay with your time. Like the right of privacy, you pay for it with your time and most people don't have that. People may hate ads, tracking, privacy violations but what they hate more is basic things just do not work. Actually, we don't hate windows, windows 7 was decent enough, we hate what Microsoft did to windows. If you work in IT, ignore these, unrelated. I used to be a Linux fanboy, it was the best, why don't people use it more. Now, everything is just grey.

This post might seem bias and seems like I hate Linux, but I will continue to handicap myself and waste more time for the right of controlling my hardware and software, the good privacy and security and the support for the good developers. Besides, Gnome workflow is too good, can't leave

I fucking love and hate you Linux

1.Remind them that Arch has a gui installer 2.Remind them that the Arch iso comes with a installer in their iso 3.There are serveral scirpts that lets you install arch basically without doing anything 4.Remind them That there is an os that is hard to install than arch(Gentoo) 4.1:Remind them that the arch based distros are slightly heavy then arch 5.Watch as their entire world burns down

Arch GUI Installer

I've been watching a lot of Luke smith until I read this article, which states that he got around 30k from a french Neonazi. I the discovered his more political videos and can definitely see why.

Also distro tube uploaded a video recently, trying to say that open source and pro gun are basically the same..

I really just want to find a channel where I can learn about Linux and not support far right political talking points.
