    Nonesense. There is no easier to use and more functional desktop with great user experience than Linux. Been that way a long time. People are just used to poor UX and want more of it.

    Edit: I would love to hear from the downvoters how windows, with its constantly changing interface, ads, poor file manager and poorly thought out workflow design is somehow better than linux. And stick with win 11 as that is the standard now.

    As for Mac, talk about confusing. Where are your files? What is happening at full screen, what menu is doing what? I will say macs are great when you get used it, especially if you use keyboard shortcuts.

    More downvotes for the truth. I have taken people who have barely used a computer before and tried them on Linux or windows. Windows is always a mess and does things in unsuspected ways or is missing a basic feature.

    Linux works just fine, and out of the box from any current distro the environments are pretty much ready to go. That is just the truth.

      Ignoring the fact that you make it sound like Linux has a single unified desktop experience…

      I’d love to hear your reason for thinking that. I’m a Linux fanboy and even I’m smelling the bullshit.

        True. But each of them are more or less polished enough for any user.

        I mean pick one.

        Give me the argument that this isn’t true.

      I’ve used MacOS for about 20 years, and it’s a shit show. But…

      Where are your files?

      They are in my user folder, same as every other OS. I can see them all in Finder. Root is hidden, but that’s options “tick box to display disks”.

      What is happening at full screen

      So what you would consider maximise is “move to new dedicated virtual desktop”, but you can also cmd+click maximise, drag to the top to traditional maximise or left/right for half screen.

      I will say macs are great when you get used it, especially if you use keyboard shortcuts.

      I’d say the opposite. How do I move this window to the next desktop using shortcut keys? You have to display desktops and then drag or to the desktop you want. No real shortcut for a basic feature.

      Emoji picker also seems to be broken, so when adding something on a chat I have to navigate with keyboard because clicking on the emoji I want works about 50% of the time, they rest of the time it just closes the window.
