An Ode to Linux Desktop Users Everywhere
Linux as a desktop has come a <i>long</i> way. Most things Just Work now. I actually enjoy the experience a great deal more than either Windows or Mac at this point, and I&#x27;m no Masochist.<p>Windows, Mac... plug a device in, install the driver through some lame wizard.<p>Linux... plug the device in, it Just Works.<p>Windows, Mac... software is out of date, go through dozens different wizards and CLI tools to update all your stuff.<p>Linux... run a yum&#x2F;apt&#x2F;pacman&#x2F;whatever update, everything is good to roll. If your using NixOS you even get a complete system rollback, with configurations, feature without any disk snap shotting required.<p>No microscopic close button. No spying on my desktop activity. No expensive custom hardware required.<p>About the only downside is the lack of Adobe, which I personally don&#x27;t use but I know it would continue to be a blocker for many. Dear Adobe, get your shit together.
