I think that's Proton's fault more than Linux
To the end user, it doesn't matter.
It seems not all app developers are equally motivated to make their stuff easy to run.
Yes, that is the point. Many developers don't care to rewrite their software for the 1% of people that daily drive Linux .
Let me tell you a little story about yesterday:
My Signal app on Linux keeps crashing. I write to them for support. They suggest I install the Beta version. Why would they suggest I install a version that openly state is "for users who do not mind discontinuity in service and are willing to work with us to understand and test issues." to fix an issue, I haven't the slightest, but I take a look regardless.
"To install on MacOS, download and install this file"
"To install on Windows, download and install the file"
"To install on Linux open a terminal and copy and paste these commands".
So I open the terminal and copy and paste the commands and I get some generic error message I don't understand and now I...fuck off because I'm not a software engineer and don't know how to fix this shit. That's before even getting into the 2 other commands I'm supposed to run that I don't understand what they are or what they do.
My ProtonVPN client on Linux is incredibly basic and unstable, and has been for many years while the Windows client is beautiful and functions perfectly in the background with zero interaction.
People who think Linux is fine for the general public are, frankly, delusional. I don't have another word to explain how you can be under that impression.
I agree with the first part but Ubuntu is pretty much the worst distro you can recommend.
Oh you still can with Swype 🙂
And nothing has changed in 20 years...
The device itself is not the concern as much as the network connectivity
I mean as many gs as the network still strictly supports...
Yeah I'm not looking for Chinese spyware on my phone's from a company that will no longer exist in 3 months.
Digital headphones have better sound quality than analog headphones, too.
There's no such thing as digital headphones.
No shit. It doesn't matter because any type of troubleshooting and most installations require you to dive into the CLI or download an appimage, open the properties and select an executable. This is not remotely intuitive. I mean I could go on and on and on with this but anyone who uses Linux knows it already. I just don't understand why they can't see how incredibly unintuitive the entire system is, with seemingly no plans to make it easier.
