Nobody is sabotaging Linux desktop. It’s simply too much effort for most of the general public.

I’m going to link this thread the next time someone screeches at me for using windows. The responses in here are so diverse and some of them are just perfection.

Show me a link to a 4k 120 60+ inch monitor. I want to know what you’d specifically consider a reasonable alternative. None of this vague bullshit.

And who is making 80 inch monitors? Most people don’t want small ass displayed or have the ability to buy a 4k 50 inch monitor.

What a terribly limited and short sighted response.

I don’t disagree.

Because she just protest’s. She doesn’t affect any real change and isn’t news worthy. She doesn’t raise money, she hasn’t tried to get elected. She’s not effective at achieving impact.

Very few people care. So no, for most it is not really a no brainer. It’s more effort and work pretty much everywhere. Try to use jellyfin on the Xbox client and tell me that isn’t trash.

Jellyfins UI being only mouse based is garbage. Using it on Xbox for instance is terrible. Using it outside of the house is also a pain in the ass.

👌👍 I guess the rando non technical users we support all day have more tech skills than you 🤷‍♂️

2025 and still having these arguments about the cons of Linux desktop. The only real reason it’s as good as it is, is valve pumping money into it.

So what, we’re just making shit up now? Windows computers bricking themselves in secret? Business across the planet dealing with Windows breaking on updates? What subset of home users are you claiming have issues with windows looking itself on update?

Not this vague bullshit.

👌👍

I’ve managed MSP services and this is hog wash. In 6 years of providing Linux, Windows, and OSX I can’t recall a single instance of windows bricking itself without kernel level software running in the background. And those instances are partition errors done outside of windows land.

You have to be trying to brick Windows these days to get to an unbootable state.

I on the other hand have multiple team members running random distos fuck up video drivers to the point where we had to wipe everything clean. And Linux computers were given out at a rate of like 1 for every 20 mac or osx machine.

So sure you could carry this around at all times but it’s not going to be helpful for 99% of users in reality.

My guy, it’s because you’re the vegans of tech.

Nobody cares. It doesn’t need to be your personality.

Oh you mean people don’t like being shouted and cursed at for having a moderate opinion.

Cringy, inaccurate, and reeks of arrogance. 200k users. I bet it got blocked because some bot started spamming the platform.

At the end of the day, the critical mass of users will be based on 2 things. Ease of use or engagement and content. Content creators won’t go to platforms that don’t bring in money or get yelled at for trying to make money.

I don’t even know what to call this absurd reality you’ve invented.

Yes know what, you’re correct I completely forgot.

So the actual number I posted with graphine being one of the most popular is way way less.

“People”

There are dozens of you, dozens I say!

https://x.com/GrapheneOS/status/1587912474002542592

150k users out of billions devices.

Y’all really dig into these bubbles. 99.99975% of Android users agree, yes user space is fine.
