Today I watched A Titus video about customizing his terminal to make it less ugly. And to install new fonts he had to type some weird commands to find where those files were stored and some other alien commands to get them installed.
Do you know what I don’t have to do in windows to get a font installed ? None of that. Open the file like normal people do and click install. No wizardry spells to learn
It’s because Microsoft was trying to steal mac’s shine.
Next. They should drop everything and solely focus on improving ux & ui . Every time I open gimp to try and get acclimated to it, I close it back out of frustration. Nothing is intuitive in that software. Not even the naming of the tools settings.
Does anyone know what’s happening to the tariffs ?
What most Linux advocates hate to admit is that the abundance of distributions discourages software makers from supporting Linux. Because then they will have to deal with bugs specific to each distribution, desktop environment, window manager, x.org or Wayland, and thousands of other variables. Imagine having to spin up a different virtual environment for each use case. It’s a nightmare that isn’t worth it for them.
There are a few GUI programs that let you do that without ever having to interact with the cmd or run a script. + a lot of GUIs are self explanatory and come with a lot of guardrails to not let you mess with your system.
To be real Linux is far from ready to be an all in all viable alternative to windows.
The fact that it has a hundred desktops. An absence of major software like ms office. Adobe and autodesk suites, and not being able to avoid the command line when shit hits the fan. Will make users choose to purchase new hardware rather than make the jump.
I bet Linux will make a 2% after win 10 end of support.
