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.
EDIT: can I just make it clear I don’t agree with this article one bit and think it’s an unhinged polemic?
Nah, I will admit there are quirks, but compared to Windows it was easier to install, easier to manage (Yast2 GUI) and has been much more stable and performant than W10. Even runs Proprietary CAD better than Windows. Webex Teams, MS Teams, Teamviewer, Edge Browser all functioning so that my daily work is same as Windows. The comments about hard to run virtual machines ? wut? dead simple. And windows apps arent needed when you sign into Office 365. Outlook actually runs better via web that local. Just a poorly researched article.
