It is easier than ever before. Still not good enough for the general public. Basic stuff doesn’t work consistently or without additional text based configuration and cli tools.
Fair enough, but one person’s “basic” may be another person’s fancy tool/workflow. As far as I know most popular distros either come with a browser or install it from a GUI-based “software store” with pretty minimal effort, and then it “just works” to get on the internet.
However, did your distro detect your machine’s Wi-Fi card correctly? Maybe… so I concede your point.
I think you’re confusing my Bluetooth issues. Either way, it’s not typical with a Windows machine. And I know a lot of it is out of the community’s control. It doesn’t change they random shit doesn’t work distro to distro and with different CC m hardware configurations.
I can easily connect my PS5 controller to everything flawlessly. Except for my bazzite distro. A gaming focused distro. I have an MSI tomahawk 590 that’s popular and was recommended as a nice upper mid end board. I can’t get my LG TV to connect consistently or use VRR and HDR. And not that it makes me the smartest person on the planet, but this shit is literally my job. I spend all day in podman, dockerfiles, terraform, and have commits to cncf, Apache, and NGinx.
I understand how to write gameconf.conf files, I can fight the 15 years of display mode crap to specify a new display mode to Wayland.
Who is this person who isn’t in tech that magically knows this shit and isn’t making 250k a year in tech? I’m us based so maybe this is skewed but I just think most are optimistic at best about Linux DE.
If you wanted a serious response you should have A) written a serious post and 2) not set up any reply to be “nerds” yelling at you.
If you think Win11 has a wider support for hardware than a Fedora based OS no one here’s gonna convince you any different because that’s so much concentrated bullshit it’s not even funny.
Skill issue. Sorry.
Perfection.
It is both easier and ready for the public and a skill issue.
Peak Linux DE cognitive dissonance.
Stop all the cherry picking, this isn’t Reddit. Engage the argument in good faith.
Linux IS easier to install and use than ever before. If you stay within the FOSS ecosystem, the DE does usually work fine for what it’s made for.
But people are complaining they can’t flawlessly run Windows games in Linux. Come on. Most computer users aren’t even gamers.
Most windows games don’t run flawlessly in Windows lol

This is not a problem in window or osx.
