5 Things I Hate About Linux - Chris Titus Tech
video description
I definitely want linux mass adoption, but I also think that it's okay if you have to learn some things as part of the process, and I don't want everything nerfed to make it -easier-
most of what people consider -new users- are windows users, and what a lot of people consider -user friendly- just means it acts like in windows. It's often not looked at objectively, and things are considered -difficult- just because they're being compared to a baseline of years using windows, and learning to work around all of its bad design choices.
I realize that this could be read as being elitist, but that's really not my intent.
I think the average user is totally capable of learning things like file management using the CLI. There's only slightly steeper initial learning curve than windows, and after that first couple hours, it's better forever.

Recording Audio in Linux in my experience is a NIGHTMARE. I found Linux kind of annoying when comes to audio. I think I also need to put this out. I've used both Ubuntu and Kubuntu. And the reason that I came back to Windows 10 is because of compatibility limitations. KVM GPU Passthrough is shitty and pitty. And Wine is that of a poop, I don't have a choice to come back to Windows 10. I am using a laptop and a desktop with AMD GPU but.... The KVM GPU Passthrough is another rabbit hole that I have to deal with for the past few weeks just to properly run Windows 10 under Linux. It's a pain. But, Linux in User Experience is so much better than Windows 10. And I wish that Terminal exist in Windows 10 as well.

-Do you want Linux mass adoption- i never used linux (preparing for my first Debian 11 install tho) and i would say yes. to a certain degree i dont mean have more users then windows but equal them out.
This would mean better support for games, Nvidia drivers (read they got issues) and it would also push windows to become better, competition is good sure since i never really used Linux you could say im talking out of my ass here but i have read alot recently and a lot of the -hoops- ppl have to jump through to get some things to work would be eliminated if they would gain at least 25 - 30% of the market share it would also mean that windows dont have monopoly and cant do what ever they want anymore

Yes, I love Linux and I want linux mass adoption. I was working on the Windows 10 system and I hated many things in it. So I decided to change and after seeing many people's opinions, I chose Linux Mint and after using it I was amazed at the lightness and speed and it works even on a little memory and this feature makes it the right system For devices that contain a simple processor and limited memory, if you are a school student, a journalist, or a browser for the net, YouTube and the like, this system is very suitable for you and free of charge and there is a free word processor ready and you do not need Microsoft keys for its system or programs any more >

Yeah I-m totally with you on the audio situation in Linux, as it-s been a perennial bugbear with me since being introduced to Linux in the mid-2000s. It used to be I had to manually script the config in order for it to work at all, or that audio would lag in video media. Nowadays it always seems quieter than what it should be on the laptops I-ve run Linux on (compared to the Windows installs). Don-t get me wrong, it-s better than it used to be, but still needs a lot of improvement.

moved back to windows just because of peripherals compatibility, tried a bunch of distros, it's always a hit or miss, manjaro was the best tho, some bluetooth issues but other than that it was great, it would some times get stuck at the loading screen tho
the biggest thing i am missing in linux is the ease of creating shortcuts and scripts and the tile manager in pop os was legendry for my 27inch monitor, Powertoys mimics just a fraction of its power

Another thing that bugs me about Linux is compositing. The animations in Windows + Mac simply blow anything on Linux out of the water. Everything is smoother and richer, especially in Windows 11 with the nice window open/close and icon effects. It sounds trivial but really makes a difference on a day-to-day basis.
It's the fault of Linux's old spaghetti-code display server (X11) and of the people who design these desktop environments.

I'm totally with you on the power management part, I installed Linux Mint on my laptop and the CPU in my laptop even under heavier workload gave up, basically it was running on 1.0GHz all the time even tho it has Turbo Boost and it should be able to do 3.3GHz on single core and 3.0 GHz on all cores. I had to disable Intel power features and S1 and S3 state to work it properly. That is one thing that pissed me when using Linux.

The only reason why I had uninstalled Ubuntu on my gaming laptop (I have 2 1TB drives) is because of battery life alone. Also I could not boot arch Linux installer on an HP Gaming Laptop mainly because of the -Failed to Authenticate-. Which it will actually staff off a lot of users from running Arch. So you would need more of a more -open source- motherboard to install Arch.
