Linux Desktop: A Collective Delusion

Linux has made significant strides, and in 2023, it's better than ever. However, there are still individuals perpetuating a delusion: that desktop Linux is as user-friendly and productive as its mainstream counterparts. After a few discussions on Lemmy, I believe it's important to provide a clear review of where Linux falls short as a daily driver for average users.

EDIT: can I just make it clear I don’t agree with this article one bit and think it’s an unhinged polemic?

    Most likely because the term ‘Linux desktop’ is ambivalent. Are you talking about DE’s or WM’s? Are you looking at GNOME or KDE?

      Mmmh. ‘Linux desktop’ means a computer powered by (GNU+)Linux that is used as a workstation. For example in an office or at home where someone sits in front of it and does something with it. In contrast to a server or an embedded device (or arguably a phone or a gaming console). It doen’t necessarily mean you need an GUI or a specific one.
