Ever heard of xdg?

I think that there are more than ample options for non technical people, like Mint. I also don’t think that those users are coming to Lemmy to stir shit, so it really doesn’t make sense to me who makes these posts.

Like, are you unaware of the distribution model of FLOSS projects like Linux? Because of the lack of profit motive from selling licenses, development is funded and done by donation. Some is corporate sponsored, but not much.

When people piss and moan about the state of things, it just makes them look really foolish, because they don’t know what has gone into getting it this far.

If you don’t like the tool sets available, feel free to roll your sleeves up and organize a design team to change that.

It may seem hard at first, it’s just that people are scared of the terminal. It’s not as if widely used programs with fancy UIs aren’t also complex.

I’m understanding of people who are just using their computer for web browsing and email, but I’m directing ire towards Windows power users who just expect certain tool sets to materialize for them.

Dude the only people expecting shit are the ones who get mad when they migrate to Linux and won’t just learn a few simple tools to make their life easier.

Your package manager commands and options and some basic tools to troubleshoot local networking are really not that fucking hard.

Copy-pasting commands from search results instead of learning how the applications installed on their machine work. It’s a lot deeper than skill issue…
