  it has a great UX, it’s just picky about its users

    It’s awesome for software devs, sys admins, tinkerers. But that’s it. Most distros still have too many issues for me to recommend it to every Windows user.

      What issues? And does Linux have more issues than Windows or different ones?

  Mistral is fine. Librewolf is Firefox. Linux has great UX if you choose the right distro

    I tried Ubuntu, Pop, Mint, Xubuntu. They all have problems. Most of these problems like software support are probably not their fault. But they are problems nontheless. I cannot recommend Linux as a daily driver for non-techsavy users.

      I hope you don’t try windows cause you’ll find even more problems

      Not to discredit your experiences with Linux but you just listed Ubuntu four times

      I’m using Pop and I’ve definitely had fewer problems than using Windows, and while I’ve tried others in the past that have been pretty fiddly (looking at you Ubuntu), there hasn’t been a single thing that any normal user wouldn’t have been able to deal with so far

  Okay, so go on… instead of only listing negatives, what are the alternatives to each of these that you use?

  • doodledup@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Librewolf is already listed. There are unfortunately no good alternatives to Windows and ChatGPT or Gemini.

      If there isn’t a good replacement for windows, then we can clearly say in your opinion, there are no good operating systems.

      So why not support the concept you believe in most?

      Because right now it sounds like you’re just making excuses for Microsoft.

      Librewolf is just some customized FF variation, so it’s from USA at the core. Same as Vivaldi, of course.

      What Linux distros did you try, though? Some are explicitly less user-friendly than others. Also, how about Llama?
