I know how hard the linux is for average user, It's too hard for me aswell.

But the worst parts of linux fit into 3 categories:
APP Stores
User elevation
Fyle system not having a standard disk:\folders structure.

And while most people do understand problems in 2nd and 3rd example, The app stores make linux look like a closed up toys. I know this is about perception, but I hope you get my point.

appstores

Why is this a bad thing it's such a good idea windows tried to copy it and failed

user evaluation

How hard is it to type your password or sudo

file system blah blah

It makes sense everything is a file just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad it's just that your not used to it I find it very nice compared to windows where if you run out of drive letters you can't add more drives

@Nonetrix @massiveracist@neckbeard.xyz
You are blind to the complexity of the problem.

The user elevation is not about typing sudo su, but about making sure every aplication has the rights aswell. And that is both core of Linux security as well as it's total unusability.

Same thing goes for the file system. It's not about the name, it's that when you see many different folders in root folder, it hides the true location of the files when taken to hardware level.

In windows, you choose a disk, on it are a few files from OS, but the rest is users playgroung. The opposite is true for linux user, since he has to learn, where to even find his drives...

@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club @massiveracist@neckbeard.xyz it just seems you came into Linux thinking it's like Windows don't expect it to be completely different because it is takes time to get used to it's not complex it's that your too used to windows once you get used to Linux it becomes easy

When you first got a computer it was probably hard to use because you didn't know how to use Windows same is true with Linux

You think I never heard this line?
How does it change anything?

Yes, I hate Microsoft, but whenever I even mention the 3 problems, all I get is Git Gud.

Well, if you do not see a problem with users having to learn what compiling a program even is, compile it, then having another session on how to give the program premmision to do it's job in the first days of use, then I guess you just love the challange.

It's not for me though. Not when I am just setting up the basics to do my job.

@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club @massiveracist@neckbeard.xyz it's as easy as going to the manjaro software app thingy then enabling the AUR then installing and often they have binaries

@Nonetrix @massiveracist @LukeAlmighty I like that the AUR discourages binaries but everyone does it anyway.
Because man imagine not having binaries of wine forks in the AUR.
