Bryan Lunduke (former community manager from OpenSuSE) does a "Linux Sucks" Video every year where he (sarcasticly) points out all the failings of Linux on the Desktop.

50% painful.

50% fun.

He's always very right in his criticism. He points out all the legit ways in which Linux sucks.

Each year I think to myself "yeah, it's terrible", but then realise there's nothing better anyway. It sucks like we all do.

"Linux is the worst form of OS, except for all the others" - Winston Churchill 1947, probably.

If I have to say 'just use Linux' to someone the inevitable response is always Which one? Ubuntu?, Fedora?, SUSE?, Arch?, Red Hat?, Void?, Slackware?, etc, etc, etc.

Even if you have to choose a distro; that is the first problem and the fundamental problem of why the Linux Desktop has been a total failure in general and that is evergreen. ChromeOS is the only Linux-based OS that not only learns from Windows, and macOS but it is also a mostly closed-system and defeats the whole point of using Linux and open-source software.

But it seems that even Google recognises that the Linux Desktop has shown its incompetencies in ChromeOS and will replace it with Fuchsia OS; their own developed OS, both being a mostly closed-source software in there and does not using Linux.

So my response to anyone about Linux distros would be, 'Don't bother to choose, as you are not missing anything and you might as well use Windows, or macOS'
