Linux Sucks 2022
Linux desktop experience does suck, but, BUT, the powerful tools and applications more than make up for it.<p>Desktop isn&#x27;t unified (X11 or Wayland), libraries are not unified, the drivers&#x2F;sound system isnt unified.  Its basically a bunch of different flavors with issues that you are stuck with, locked in with.<p>Google Android has the same binary blob hell for drivers. Chrome OS has some powerful containers (on supported hardware), unlocking more power.<p>Ubuntu versions are tied to projects, so google and other corps make you use what version they want to dev on their platforms.<p>Redhat has the same issue, killing off centos community releases for a streamed os platform. (Same as Suse)<p>Arch at least tries to fit the need of letting you upgrade, but you still have the same issues with a unified platform, but provides the applications, some apps are stale but at least they exist in their community repos.<p>WSL is really just a platform to allow you to take the power of the terminal to do so many powerful things, skipping the desktop, allowing a windows desktop that solves all the issues linux has.<p>Pretty much, Windows with WSL, and Android emulation, you can do anything. The only pure linux I have at home now is pi machine, and I only use it as a console box.<p>But I still play with Arch in vmware (vmware supports nested virtualization, virtualbox doesnt). Its amazing the power windows can unlock linux<p>Now when the m2 mac mini&#x27;s come out, I might just have to play with virtualized linux as a desktop. Gaming, android&#x2F;streaming can fill the lack of games, just as you can do on linux.
