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

If you had a video of people new to Windows you'd find the same issues or worse.

My wife was struggling so badly to run her windows laptop (she was used to a cellphone only), partly because windows does quirky things we just get used to when running Windows; so we swapped the OS to linux and she's much happier, its the same everyday and doesn't get in her way.
