It feels like a lot of people in these threads form their opinions of what desktop Linux is like these days based on one poor experience from back in 2005.

yesterday I booted into my Kubuntu installation. it's on a rusty spinning disk on purpose. even after half of a century since the mother of all demos we still cannot preload the fucking "start menu" or whatever is the more correct technical term for that thing that _eventually_ shows the applications when you click on it.

There’s a bug for this? Or are you just complaining thinking someone in the software contributors world can here you?

I can’t even find how to open the Applications view in Finder 9/10 times on a Mac.

This an Apple zealot thread. They aren’t reasonable or actually interested in computing outside of Apple. They will talk shit about Linux all day in this thread or any other one but if you criticize Apple it’s to the guillotine for your comment. I’m surprised yours is still standing.
