  • If you stick to popular free software, the jank is limited.

    The Linux userspaces have a lot of enthusiastic people that create their own software and share it, and thus it seems like there is lot of janky stuff (because there is).

    It feels like Windows has been captured by corporations and so the market is competitive. There isn’t much space for enthusiast developpers to tackle a different vision of a popular software.

    So yeah, I agree with you, lots of janky software in Linux, but that’s the beauty of it IMO. If you stick to popular softwares, the jank is somewhat equivalent to Windows.







  • The cat is out of the bag and long gone.

    People got used to the simplicity of centralized services, and corpos made great efforts to make everything 1-click.

    So when the average users need to do more than 1-click, they won’t use the software.

    It would help if anti-trust laws were applied and these mega-corpos got broken in a thousand pieces. Centralized monolith services would have a harder time to thrive and give space to federation/decentralization.
