Why don't more people use desktop Linux? I have a theory you might not like - eviltoast

I’m curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

    I’ve always said this to people. I use Windows, Linux, and MacOS. I use whatever best suits what I’m doing and I like that idea. It may end up being 20/70/10, but so what. Why battle a shitty Linux app If you have a good MacOS app. Or maybe your liking that windows app for a certain task.

    In reality this is really only something a dev or power user would really do though.

      Exactly. That’s what matters. That’s why SteamOS is on Steam Deck, or Linux distros on POS machines, or Windows on ATMs (which is kinda depressing ngl), etc.

      It’s a tool, nothing more, nothing less. An OS is just a gateway to other apps at the end of the day.
