  • Big old case of Stockholm syndrome.

    I can write and run hundreds of different server and service configurations, tooling, and standardized install experience though multiple packages, run ML, do ETL, etc, and it's 90% the same and a mostly sane process that's easy to learn, and quite marketable.

    DE isn't that. It's garbage. It's overly complicated, you need an indepth understand of the eco system and tons of components and even if you end up learning the stack shit is still just going to break because of the absurdly broad nature of the entire stack. And frankly none of that is a particularly good skillet to have if you want to be paid well.

    There are 3 reasons to use Linux DESKTOP.

    1. Mandatory from your org.
    2. You fundamentally do not support Microsoft and Apple for whatever reason.
    3. You want to tinker in an endless loop if you want anything remotely beyond the default.

    The former is predictable and well managed. The latter is chaos and pain.

    And yes, I know you can switch. Nobody outside of the most hardcore are going to deal with multiple instances, moving identity, etc.

    If the situation doesn't get better regarding how that works, either through community or tech, I'll move back to Reddit eventually as will most of the folks who jumped on after the failed protest.

  • I couldn't care less what they are calling it nor does the average person. It doesn't mean I didn't own an S21U and it was filled to the brim with bloat. From their shitty version of assistant, to their shitty little app store which bugs me to login to a Samsung account every month so I can update my Samsung clock app. Same with the wife's s22.

    What a wonderful job you did focusing in on pedantic shit that serves no purpose other than gate keeping.

    "This fucker used last year's name for this ui component. What a fucking idiot." - Linux neckbeards claiming this is the year of Linux DE.

  • Nailed it.

    That and this place being crazy crazy overwhelmingly progressive (not shade) is going to push people away. Seeing 4 or 5 of the same tankie posts in a row with little other content but politics is going to ensure nobody is able to find more sharable content.
