Give me your most controversial Linux takes that nobody wants to admit are actually true.I'll start, Photoshop isn't actually a big deal for most people and it being missing is easier to complain about than fixing the real issues on the #Linux desktop

@BrodieOnLinuxPeople believe by optimizing compiler flags to their CPUs they can make bad code run better. That's why Gentoo exist.The same people ignore the fact that compiling their own updates everytime converts hours of their lifetime into them staring at a console with endless scrolling lines of text output.(Hi, I was a Gentoo user for 10 years and configured my own kernels from source)@Madic

@BrodieOnLinux here's mine: Linux users are as lazy as Windows users - in fact, I'd go one step further and say that they're mostly the same.You'll see the same kind of whining between both communities. They just whine about or ignore different stuff and for most of them, it's just arbitrary what they care or don't care about.It's only when they encounter enough problems to stop being lazy and actually experience new stuff that they start to meaningfully change their opinions.

@BrodieOnLinux Too many to list but off the top of my head:- Linux distribution snobbery & mockery of other distributions is very real (each to their own).- Linux users who state they 'hate' Gnome/KDE/Systemd/Snap/Flatpak etc are very poor at explaining to others 'exactly' why that is (always seems a personal preference reason than any technical failings).- Linux 'desktop' dominance race was over decades ago. The race finished & everyone went home & moved on (Windows won BTW, unfortunately).

@Hitesh1 @BrodieOnLinux GNOME and KDE are clones of Windows 98, the worst operating system ever made.Microsoft didn't make it that way because they thought it was a great design. They did it because they were trying to evade antitrust prosecution.

@BrodieOnLinux When someone says that window managers are inherently superior to desktop environments- or that WMs are some kind of natural progression for advanced users while only beginners stay with DEs.But then spend hours trying to recreate types of functionality that already just work automatically and integrated well in the DE that they were mocking.

@BrodieOnLinux 1) Hating snaps is no longer driven by the merit of this technology. It’s simply socially unacceptable in the community to like snaps or even to admit some of them may have their use cases. 2) When people don’t like a distro, but aren’t able to precisely explain why, some of them say it’s “bloated” and consider it the end of the discussion.

But I don't hate systemd tho, in fact I'm one of the developers of TROMjaro - a linux distro based on Manjaro. Oh yes, we forked Manjaro everyone! 😁 Here is the website - https://www.tromjaro.com

@BrodieOnLinux It can look like there is much argument about design choices across Linux desktops.Meanwhile for all the gripes about Microsoft (valid or otherwise) they did actually put some thought into Human/User Interface Guidelines for Windows (more apparent in earlier editions) and there are Linux / FOSS projects that would benefit from the same discipline.Notably including the Principle of Least Surprise, when thinking about all the ways you could perform a task.

@BrodieOnLinux I just got one: Linux is commercial project.Most of the code in the kernel is outright by companies, but on a more practical level, Linux was only used because 1.) it got good for servers; 2.) Google need a kernel for their mobile OS; 3.) Valve wants to not be tied to Windows.Profit motive is what drives Linux the most, this is what drives developments while xz or j4log shows what happens when the commercial motive isn't there. We don't really matter, we just got the scraps.

@BrodieOnLinux Choosing a distro that is not Debian... sorry, Ubuntu-based is a fools errand for anything not in Flatpak (repo is outdated unless you are using arch, and we are not discussing AUR because that sucks).The subtext here is if you are going to use proprietary software, there is only one family of distros that matter.No, RPMs don't matter.
