I like Linux, I hate the app names. It’s confusing as hell, especially if you are looking for some app that functions the way you imagine, then they name something weird like Nautilus instead of file explorer lmao.
For some reason people get all ways extra fabulous when they make open source Software and need a fancy name instead of a great descriptive one…
Or they could name it atleast nautilus the file explorer or something.
lol, thaat is so true. It’s never just “File Explorer”, is it?
It doesn’t exactly help that there’s like 5-10 of each kind of thing.
For me personally, having 5-10 of everything is good. I find what I like the best and you find what you like best. It can make extra work, but if you subtract out all the time I’d spend fighting the windows UI or looking at ads and “recommended content”, I think we may actually come out on the better end of things.
I still remember thinking, “wtf is a nano and why should i sudo it?”
I believe both Xfce and Cinnamon have a setting for generic app names: i.e. “Firefox” becomes “Web Browser” & “Nautilus” becomes “File Manager”. I always thought this feature was great.
I set up an alias for nautilus that’s just “explore” and 10/10 very useful.
Thing is, I use Linux cuz it allows to have simplicity and convenience where those things are of value to me.
Not having an online always connected local user account is simplicity to me.
Having file permissions changeable with a simple command rather than having to fuck about a ui and registry is simplicity to me.
Having an os that’s under my control is convenient for me.
Having a user interface that suits my wants/needs and has ample options for customization is convenient for me.
Don’t worry guys, I know how to fix this. I’ll just create another package manager!! That should do it
As a disclaimer, I didn’t make this myself, and I lovingly use Linux for all my computing needs.
But when I selfhost nextcloud to avoid google, or use proton, I am aware that I don’t allways choose the easy way.

We don’t do it because it’s easy, we do it because we thought it would be easy.
No lie, it’s got to the point that it’s more convenient to use Linux. Windows has become very intrusive with trying to help, privacy issue landmines you have to navigate, it’s not unpleasant to use Windows. It’s just more work to do it.

I love simplicity and convenience. I just don’t like giving up control.
Meme creator has obviously never used Linux Mint.
Things that are simple are often not simple to use. Things that are simple to use are often complex. Although, hammers also exist so it’s not exactly an universal rule…
This. Even the command-line is extremely simple and convenient once you are familiar with it.
It’s so much more complex and frustrating to try and come up with words to explain to someone the steps to do anything on a Windows GUI… browsing through menus clicking this thing here, right-clicking here that, going through tabs, dragging this to there… go to “this” -> “that” -> “whatever”… and then to only realize you misremembered the exact location and have to look it up to make sure.
Or maybe they changed the location slightly in the last Windows update because “reasons”. More than once I’ve been searching how to do something on Windows 10 and found outdated instructions with setting panels that don’t exist anymore.
And hammers are also the best tool to deal with a Windows machine!
Package manager vs rogue EXEs and kernel drivers alone make things easier in Linux compared to Windows.
Never heard of chocolatey eh?
Chocolatey is … meh. Better than nothing I guess. Now WinGet is an official MS tool, not to bad, but not much in the repo either.
I use chocolatey on Windows when I’m on windows, the slight issue is a lot of stuff just isn’t on it. That’s rare for me on my main OS where everything is on pacman or the AUR.
Oh I use arch btw.
I mean that’s just not true.
Apparently Windows users just want something that never works, is unsupportable, and required re-installation 3 times a year.
I disagre. But don’t want to downvote.
I disagree, and I will downvote.
Nowadays, knowing nothing of how windows works any more, I am always frustrated if I have to try to use it
