I just looked into this and I will never see chainsaws in the way i’ve seen them before. As far as I understand it it was revolutionary at the time and saved lives, but it was absolutely gruesome either way.
For anyone who is as innocent as I was 10 minutes ago and wants to change that

Chopping wood?

There is a project that can run some backgrounds, but is very experimental and IMHO not suited for running constantly as a desktop background. WPE is way too deep in specific windows features to be able to run on linux smoothly.

Bei mir hat DPD es 3 von 3 Mal geschafft das Paket ohne zu klingeln, ich war zu Hause vor die Tür zu stellen.

Maybe even add randomness and make it only happen 10 or 20% of the time.

Oooh, that’s evil. You don’t even need administrator privileges for that IIRC.

Celsius of course. Only babies shower in 140 Fahrenheit!

But they lack sandboxing options which only exist with GrapheneOS. Sure, Calyx is usable but only with huge downsides when it comes to usability.

But sadly it’s not available for Fairphones which really frustrates me. And other OS variants just lack the main features which make Graphene so great.

Ja!

Dance with the lights out in my ass

Okay, I see that this comparison wasn’t really good. Thinking more about it it reads like a straw man argument and i’m sorry for that.
It indeed woudn’t offer a commercial benefit, but I do really think that it would offer a benefit humanity. Because it would lessen the power that Mocrosoft has over the computer market. If the market share is high enough it would even spark innovation because Microsoft and co would be forced to innovate to keep their market share.
I know many people who would like to have an alternative to Windows, without the hurdles Linux still comes with. And I would like to be able to tell them that there is one but sadly I can’t.

Well, first of all that’s just elitist/gatekeeping thinking and i find it quite frustrating. If you think about it, it’s kind of like the “we don’t want immigrants, they cause much work, cost us much and don’t contribute”. A higher market share always comes with benefits and with drawbacks. There will always be more people who contribute if the market share is higher. The same with hardware compatibility. Having widely adopted open source software will always benefit the community.

Yes. After using Linux for servers and lower end machines I switched to mint on my main desktop a week ago. And while I’m quite pleased, it was not a seamless experience. I had to use a script that fixes my Bluetooth headset that connected but wasn’t showing up as an audio device when reconnecting, and apt sometimes having very out of date packages that just don’t work anymore. I love Linux but i really find it frustrating that many Linux users just seem a bit out of touch, don’t see that even some basics sometimes need weird fixes and that windows is just better at working out of the box. I really want Linux to get there but tbh i don’t see that happening in the near future.

Yeah, that sums up my experience quite well.

I love Linux. But my biggest problem is recommending it to users that use more than just the browser (and maybe some office suite), that I know won’t be comfortable with the command line (and who don’t want so spend time learning it).
As soon as it comes to hardware support (printers, scanners, heck even Nvidia graphics cards) you will at some point run into an error that needs you to use the command line to fix it.
I’ve heard many times “everything can be done in GUI”. But people saying that are almost always people using the command line regularly. In my experience this just isn’t the case.
And even if everything could be done in GUI, the most fixes you find online are terminal based.

I second that. Ask 5 people, get 10 answers and the others are obviously wrong.
Also everyone should use Linux and everything can be done via GUI, but I obviously use terminal for everything so i can’t tell you how to fix it in GUI. Oh, sorry, you need to know how to use the terminal for that specific error you are having.

Factorio. Do i need to say more?

Yeah. Reminds me of a dependency fuckup with steam on pop os that uninstalled the desktop environment when trying to install steam.

My point is that if that is the case (and I do understand why) then i can’t possibly recommend Linux to people that don’t want their OS to be their hobby, because as for my experience they will come across something that needs some command line input.
