I wanted to take a moment and talk about Linux UX because, let's face it... it sucks.

Actually, it's worse than that. Much of Linux's UX is technically correct and that makes it objectively wrong.

No. I don't want Linux to be more Windows-like. But I do want the most common Linux desktops to behave in a way that PC-literate folks can wrap their mind around — and do so from minute zero

Thats kind of his point though.

New users, are coming from Windows. They know "the windows way".

Hell I had to dump all my mapped network shares on my laptop because when I wasn't at home, the whole thing just stalls out constantly, looking for them, instead of just saying "Oh, its not there" and moving on, or just ignoring it until I actively click on it.
