We love to praise linux constantly and tell everyone to change to it (they should) but what are your biggest annoyances ?
Mine would be, installing software (made even more complex by flatpaks being added, among the 5 other ways there already were to install software) and probably wifi power management issues.
I don’t know if I agree with the issue of installing software. Sure, there are a lot of ways to do it, but it’s better than navigating to a website, downloading an executable, and having it install for you. There’s too many points for error to cause issues. Plus, you have to do that for every update usually.
Is it perfect on Linux? No. It’s better than Windows though.
Not gonna agree. Windows and Mac installs are LIGHTYEARS easier for a normal user.
How many normal people can manually compile a program, or decide between a .deb, flatpak, or snap? They would give up before even researching.
Also programs have been able to auto update for many many years now…
How often do you need to manually compile a program? 99.99% of the time you just tell you package manager to install a package and that’s it. You don’t need to decide anything. In the case you do need to manually compile, you probably have to for Windows as well, and it’s for stuff that an average user won’t even consider wanting anyway, so it isn’t an issue.
A knowledgeable user needs to decide between what type of package to install, and how. A novice just needs to install it.
