The problem is that people expect Linux to work exactly the same as Windows. But they simultaneously expect it to fix all the things Windows has broken. Those two aren't compatible.

Linux desktops having different design philosophies is why they're any good. if they worked like Windows, they would suck ass, and nobody would even think about switching. I mean, really? Windows or shitty cheap Windows? Come on now. We need to think about what makes Linux intriguing in the first place.

You can talk about design philosophy all you want. You can confirm that Windows sucks all you want (I agree).

That doesn't change the fact that my external monitor doesn't work and will never work on Linux/Unix (random example, I can give you tons of others of things not working).

Is it Linux's fault? No. Does it make Linux suck in that it is completely unusable for most people? Yes.

Apple (and System76 and Frame.work) understood this and are changing this fortunately.
