    It’s been like that for 20 years though. This is the future and it still isn’t ready

      It’s so much better than it used to be though. There’s been a lot of real progress and there’s more interest than ever in creating a viable Linux consumer-grade desktop among foss developers and even corporations.

      I’ll grant you it’s definitely not there yet for non-techies. But I do think we’ll get there eventually and I wouldn’t have said that 5 years ago.

        honestly I think it’s 95% there and would get that last 4% if you could go to a retail store and just buy one. the perception would be enough to get hardware and software vendors to start supporting it in a very short time. kinda like how cyberpunk has a steam deck present.

        Would it be over night? No but real change is never quick. Perception has to change before the change happens. Why do you think MS and other Software vendors pays so much money to PC manufacturers to stay on Windows.

        Remember with a windows PC purchase and bloatware. You’re a customer and a product, your desktop is a billboard. So it’s against their interest to give you agency in what OS you use.
