I’ve been using computers and various operating systems since the early 90s. Trying to use linux today and most things still seem to require three tutorials to do basic things like install files.
It’s just not easy to use. I could never recommend it to somebody who is new or even newer to computers.
If you’re using vague, borderline nonsensical phrases like “install files” when trying to find out how to do things that might go some way towards explaining it.
You forgot having to be flexible enough to not have any particular workflow that works for you personally. Linux is great if you don’t need to use anything that doesn’t have a comparable equivalent.
But didn’t you learn to use your your favourite OS at one point in your life?? How is that any different? Did you never learn a single thing from someone else?
You have to learn to ride a bike and drive a car. Are those crap vehicles too? It’s not “holier than thou,” when your argument is full of holes (hehe).
Since Linux is not an operating system, but the kernel, I think the guy means:
Gentoo
Arch Linux
But hey!
I don’t like Debian, but it’s good, quite a lot of people like it
Fedora is good either. I like it. People don’t like corporate influence, but hey, it’s good, isn’t it?
I’ve heard good things of Bazzite (a repacked Fedora, isn’t it?). Also, Pop_OS! looks promising too, especially with their recent Cosmic Desktop. Personally, I despise Mint (especially the Ubuntu version, lol, shit based on shit, sorry everyone) but many people like it, so it’s not as shitty as I believe it is. Em, Ubuntu … anyone uses it? I’ve seen folks using it as a server OS. I have no idea, perhaps that’s not incompetence, but there are use cases.
So yeah, still more than three. I’ve heard BSDs are quite good, but maybe not for everyone, especially as desktops. Yet, I’ve heard good things about them.
Alpine. Even on a desktop, people use it. And if you like SBCs, I think DietPi is a great project, Armbian is a great effort too.
So… I don’t know man. We have more than three, our issue is with the opposite, we have too many. Someone uses Slackware even. Others Linux from scratch. There are Nix people. I should have missed someone. But as I’ve been saying, we have too many already.
Maybe a third, actually good OS will finally appear?
Define what a good OS is, so we can all have a laugh.
Wrong space for that, buddy.
Y’all can disagree all you want. It’s still doody. The only reason people are flocking to it is because windows is even more shit.
Is it doody or are you just technologically challenged? Based on your double-down I think I might know the answer.

my grandma uses it just fine…
It is though? Is the bar so low that simply having to read, comprehend and follow instructions is disqualifying?
Maybe you need to abandon desktop computing and go purchase an iPad

Another reason not to like linux, the douchebag holier than though user base.

but you’re the one in here acting like a holier than thou douchebag
@Linktank @OR3X Wow, you’re rubbish.
Good one.
It has, yes
It already exists, it’s called OpenBSD.
That’s a pretty weird take given that OpenBSD is way behind Linux
i too love fish linux
Same issue there. What happens when Theo dies?

Sure, and maybe Microslop will one day put the acid down.
