Comment on The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down
dirtypirate@kbin.social 6 months agoMy elderly neighbor needed a computer to do accounting, I set her up with Mint on a T430 w/ LibreOffice and told her I'd giver her free support till the laptop died.
5 years on and the only time I've had to fulfill my side of the bargain was when her printer was out of paper and she couldn't find her eye glasses to read the error message.

Linux is sadly very messy for a sysadmin.
That “cathedral vs bazaar” thing didn’t age too well.
Say, an OS with hardware and software support as good as that of Linux, but with cleanliness as good as that of OpenBSD (or at least FreeBSD) would probably have a bigger desktop and enterprise user share by now.

For people who don’t get the reference - messy as compared to any of BSDs. Documentation, configuration complexity, cleanliness of architecture.
