To add to this. Most complaints about windows from linux users are just people who don't know how to use windows, which is kinda embarrassing considering its the most used OS by a really big margin.
Linux based OSes are by far most popular globally. Windows is only super popular on desktops and laptops.
I'm willing to bet that 95% of the users using a 'Linux based OS' would have absolutely no clue, and if you put them in front of a desktop with Linux on it they'd be as lost as anyone else.
I'm willing to bet 95% wouldn't care, they have their web browser there and that's all that's needed.
I'd even go so far as to say most people would find a stable Linux distro with GNOME easier than Windows. The user experience for most part is closer to that of your Android phone.
That's kinda my point, Android is a Linux based OS. But go to any random guy with a Samsung and ask him to install Minecraft on a Linux desktop and he'll have a panic attack.
open app store > search 'Minecraft' > press install
It's literally harder to install on Windows
I'd go a step further. Desktop computing as a whole is overkill for most users.
As much as I'm loathe to admit it, my cheap Asus Chromebook is likely more than what 90 percent of humanity requires. And most of them could easily just get away with using a phone or tablet instead.
I'm an old school guy. I love a good tower with a pair of monitors and stuff to do my editing and 3D design. But even those intensive tasks are getting better on smaller form factors.
It's just not my world anymore. I've aged out of it.
Marketing should be banned.
Its sole purpose is to get people to buy shit they do not need, in order to make someone more money than they deserve. All through manipulation of your brain.
It's the sole reason we are over consuming.
not all Christians are assholes who touch kids. a lot of (not saying all) the atheists here are absolutely wild
Firefly was overrated and was right to be cancelled.
Get out.
How can cowboys and hookers in space be anything but fantastic?
Copyright and intellectual property as a whole is actually bad for artists and authors and only serves the interests of large corporations.
You think that opinion is gonna cause you to be bombarded on Lemmy?
Well it got me bombarded on reddit.
The idea of ~~coffee~~ copyright is good, but corporate lobbying and the current most-money-wins legal system makes our implementation of copyright harmful. TL;DR: Interface good, implementation bad.
I think even the interface is just intended as a band-aid fix for the current economic system (not gonna say the C word). In a better world art and media would be a public good.
But I do get your point. Could absolutely be improved for the current system.
Capitalism has done more for everyone on this planet than communism ever will.
