Common, he behaved like a overly confident idiot with a chip on his shoulder and then when his ego was challenged, he tried to hide behind the veil of being a 'regular user'. It wasnt a display of anything but how a narcissist with a reputation to protect acts.
Is there hope for Linux as a viable desktop for everyday users? I think so, but probably not any time soon if it continues on the same trajectory. The average person is just not going to have time to digest why screenshare doesn’t work on Zoom unless they log in via “X11 Session” instead of “Wayland Session.” Is some of the problem on Zoom? Kind of yes, kind of no. The practical result, however, is completely undetermined by who is at fault for any given issue.
I mean, I’ve been using Linux since I was 12, and I can debug my way around some ALSA driver issues, recompile kernels, tweak the pulseaudio config, set up Samba, etc. and all of those things are not necessarily great things if you wind up needing to do them to accomplish something the average user would consider “easy.”
