    Your entire paragraph is correct in most ways and really games the issues when Linux desktop in a nutshell. None of that will work for the average user.

    My point was, the next time I see someone scream just use Linux, it’s easy, I will post this.

    It’s not easy, and it’s somewhat baked in due to the design goals. IMO it would be better if that were accepted instead of bashing windows and osx. I realize I’m off topic by the end there but I felt the need to elaborate.

    I’m going to post this thread anytime I get some random screaming about how Linux is soooo much easier than Windows.

    On a more serious note, Wayland is a dumpster fire, and has been for many years now. I have up after spending a few hours dicking around in xdotool trying to get mouse gestures to work only to find out I should have been using the new ydotool…

    removed all of that. Linux desktop really could use a benevolent dictator that has some vision and understanding what the average user wants.

    This bullremoved is the number 1 detractor of adoption.
