Linux Desktop: A Collective Delusion

Linux has made significant strides, and in 2023, it's better than ever. However, there are still individuals perpetuating a delusion: that desktop Linux is as user-friendly and productive as its mainstream counterparts. After a few discussions on Lemmy, I believe it's important to provide a clear review of where Linux falls short as a daily driver for average users.

    Not sure why this is was down-voted.
    I don’t agree with some points on the list, but if you need propriety software for your job, Linux may not be the easiest choice.

      Most likely because the term ‘Linux desktop’ is ambivalent. Are you talking about DE’s or WM’s? Are you looking at GNOME or KDE?

      Well who doesn’t require some kind of propriety software for their job? The big problem is collaboration and as someone said, if everyone is into a propriety solution and you’re on an alternative you’re going to have a bad time.
