#CURSE FOR MAC WINDOWS#
What they should have done for the sake of the video in order to reduce bias is find someone migrating from *nix to windows for comparison, but they didn’t do that because they are a windows shop. None of this is to say things are necessarily worse but the learning curve is always there when you pick up a new OS.
#CURSE FOR MAC DRIVER#
Anyone who’s a daily driver would know that stuff but for a new user it was not at all intuitive.
#CURSE FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
I tried in vain to run downloaded software until a coworker pointed out a setting somewhere in the system that needed to change. I didn’t know how or where to find things. Nothing worked the way I was accustomed to even the damned backspace key. When I worked briefly with macos I was really out of my element. Yes, but I still see it as just one opinion of many and the same is true going in other directions. He’s accurate and legitimate due of his experience, his advices are spot on. You should watch it, yeah it’s somewhat “clickbaity”, but the content is genuine and he does speak with his heart.

I think it helps to gaining experience with portable software from the get-go.Įdit: It’s true that I’d like to see linux gain more momentum, but I think people are mostly creatures of habit and change is hard. My kids haven’t had a problem using linux. Nevertheless I think most people could pick it up fine if it were pre-installed like windows is. This makes it a lot more difficult to get into linux as a beginner. I tell people to stick with whatever they know unless they have a reason to switch, it’s a personal choice.įor better or worse many computer vendors are forcefully bundling windows and won’t support linux. Most people learn windows and have little incentive to switch. Things are inherently unfamiliar when switching to new platforms. The same is true of both windows and OSX too. Some of the tasks they found easier on linux, whereas some they found easier on windows. Granted, a lot of the windows software users are familiar with on windows isn’t available for linux, but that’s less about linux itself and more about software availability for linux. Many of the tasks had to do with using new applications for things like office, PDF. The one guy had a terminal open showing “top”, but that’s because he thought it was a useful to see and not because he actively used it. Well I watched it now and they didn’t use the terminal for any tasks.

How Linux versions of apps are crashing at many times the rate of Windows or Mac versions (LTT even mentions this in his latest attempt to use Linux as a daily driver), etc. For an average user using a browser and office apps, it’s easy enough to get by without a terminal. If you want to customize things beyond what the OS has configuration wizards for, then sure you’ll go under the hood, but that’s to be expected. But…I find the reasoning that all linux users have to use terminals is exaggerated. Software availability can be a good reason to stick with windows. This isn’t windows versus linux so much as GUI software versus terminal software.
While a lot of linux software is terminal based, that same software would require the console running on windows and mac PCs too. Many users get by without ever touching a terminal.
To be fair, it really depends what you do though. We’d see how often apps fail to start, how often users are forced to use the terminal (yes, I’m aware most of you are in a facebook like echo chamber where you tell each other users never need to use it, but that’s easily disproven by browsing new user help forums for 5 minutes.)

The Linux KERNEL is reliable, however the community often conflates that with whether the desktop is reliable. Even with these static linking app packaging methods, it’s still not comparable to the reliability of the baseline OS and SDKs provided by everyone else for running 3rd party software.
The Linux desktop is definitely headed towards distros getting all their apps in flatpack (Fedora Silverblue) or Snap (Ubuntu). “but it seems impenetrable for a newcomer or outsider to get into it.”īecause this is the rabbit hole of trying to fix package managers, dependencies, and the problems they create by creating more problems.
