I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

    I think what you’re saying is that Linux desktop is going to be a bad experience if you come in with your expectations from macos or windows. In neither of those can you “accidentally” uninstall your de because you’re not reading terminal prompt.

    This kinds of problems are for people who think they know what they’re doing

      Tech doesn’t get wider adoption if you expect every user to know what they’re doing. And without wider adoption, devs don’t get on board and apps don’t get made. Lowering the learning curve improves the experience for everybody, especially with linux where we can have different distributions with different target audiences.

        I agree, but we’re not there yet. As of now, you’ll need to at least try to read what you’re approving in terminal

      But to avoid this you could run a VM and restore to a snapshot but that’s not really switching to Linux. Windows/Mac users should generally not just jump into Linux but transition to it.
