    I like Linux, I hate the app names. It’s confusing as hell, especially if you are looking for some app that functions the way you imagine, then they name something weird like Nautilus instead of file explorer lmao.

      For some reason people get all ways extra fabulous when they make open source Software and need a fancy name instead of a great descriptive one…

      Or they could name it atleast nautilus the file explorer or something.

    Thing is, I use Linux cuz it allows to have simplicity and convenience where those things are of value to me.

    Not having an online always connected local user account is simplicity to me.

    Having file permissions changeable with a simple command rather than having to fuck about a ui and registry is simplicity to me.

    Having an os that’s under my control is convenient for me.

    Having a user interface that suits my wants/needs and has ample options for customization is convenient for me.

    Don’t worry guys, I know how to fix this. I’ll just create another package manager!! That should do it

    As a disclaimer, I didn’t make this myself, and I lovingly use Linux for all my computing needs.

    But when I selfhost nextcloud to avoid google, or use proton, I am aware that I don’t allways choose the easy way.

      We don’t do it because it’s easy, we do it because we thought it would be easy.

        Chocolatey is … meh. Better than nothing I guess. Now WinGet is an official MS tool, not to bad, but not much in the repo either.

        I use chocolatey on Windows when I’m on windows, the slight issue is a lot of stuff just isn’t on it. That’s rare for me on my main OS where everything is on pacman or the AUR.

        Oh I use arch btw.

    No lie, it’s got to the point that it’s more convenient to use Linux. Windows has become very intrusive with trying to help, privacy issue landmines you have to navigate, it’s not unpleasant to use Windows. It’s just more work to do it.

    Things that are simple are often not simple to use. Things that are simple to use are often complex. Although, hammers also exist so it’s not exactly an universal rule…

    Apparently Windows users just want something that never works, is unsupportable, and required re-installation 3 times a year.

    I love simplicity. This is why I use Linux. Its just simpler to get simple Software that does just one thing and that good.

    And I love tinkering with my os.
