Just sharing this really well produced video on Linux’s public perception (since this channel has suprisingly not a lot of subscribers)

    This is sort of a self fulfilling prophecy Cause Linux is confusing because it’s not used enough for people to make more user friendly applications

    I’d say just bite the bullet and hope for a better future

      Nah, Linux is confusing because it’s software. I have a well-paying job in large part because Windows and macOS are confusing as hell, too.

        linux at least gives you the information you need to slowly untangle things, sure you’ll be presented with a screen of inscrutable text, but you can just search that text online and get results that you can make sense of

        meanwhile with other OSes they just say “there was a problem” and you have no earthly clue what the fuck the actual issue is, if there even is one and the OS isn’t just being spiteful
