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.

    I’m pretty sure the average person wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference between something like mint and windows.

    Linux is as user-friendly as the user wants it to be.

      Sometimes Teams sends audio to the wrong device at work and I think “why am I so hard on Linux when Windows can’t get it right even with all of Microsoft’s resources”
