“I deal with enough tinkering on computers at work, when I get home I just want it to work” Proceeds to spend hours getting mod packs installed on games they play for a week, month tops
That’s actually not as crazy though. Linus himself said people don’t install operating systems, it’s not what most people want to do in their free time.
We have our own version in linux too. Arch/Gentoo/NixOS, neovim/hyprland/kitty unixporn evangelists who clearly have a very different idea of what’s worth spending time on, compared to the average user. Like gosh, ubuntu, konsole and vscode work perfectly fine too!
Regarding Ubuntu, its cousin Mint is even more regular user friendly, as is ZorinOS.
Doesn’t seem ridiculous enough.
They probably expect the OS to “just work”, so that they can work on other things that don’t just work.
A little BS though, but understandable.
