    @itsfoss @mkwadee sure, but most people want pretty much none of those things as much as they want to get their stuff done.

      You forgot "Kernel panic! Unhandled exception in interrupt!" (which has been happening to me a lot for the last week or so.)

        @itsfoss true. It especially breaks when you starts dreaming about making it "beautiful".

        I use arch, it works as I want, but as I install a DE, it done for. Maybe I become too ambitious at times with it.

          Macs aren't the best hardware platform for Linux compared to a PC.
          Most of my family have been using Linux for well over a decade without any major problems. I have been a Linux user for over 20 years.

              @itsfoss And people actually enjoy using the terminal once they are used to it.

                I like Linux. I‘ve started to use it and I‘m still at the beginning of the journey.

                I took my old MacBook and installed Ubuntu. A hell trip. Drivers for WiFi and Camera were not available. I had to buy an external USB WiFi stick and to search for the drivers. The terminal became my best friend.

                Later I got a new kernel and had a kernel conflict. The next trip to hell.

                I understand why this problems occurred. But it doesn’t match the 'easy & fast' statement.

                @strght @itsfoss I've just started to use it and there's things I like and things I don't.

                I'm used to doing some PC support tasks. I can handle BIOS tasks and firmware updates, etc. Mint wasn't *easy* to install on my machine but I got there. I love the interface and I love the lack of ads.

                But my mouse is too slow. This is a world of pain to fix.

                  @itsfoss Been running linux for all of my adult life, never once had an install corruption that wasn't directly my fault, one of many reasons to use stable release OSs like Debian.

                    But most users don’t want to have to choose between different distributions or change any settings.
                    They just want to turn it on and have it work.

                    It’s the same with Android phones.
                    Very few people use different launchers or even know that launchers exist.

                    And if we continue to capitulate to those people Linux will turn into MacOS or Windows.

                    If you keep the stock rom on and android phone its easy to use, if you flash an aftermarket one you may encounter issues.

                    The same is true for keeping OEM windows on your device vs using linux.

                    If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.
