  • I’ve been a full time dev since 2012 and needed a Mac, I had barely used windows over that time but beforehand ran a PC service business.

    Anyway, Ive been using Linux as a daily driver for the past 6 months for reasons.

    … The other day I got a new cheap laptop I needed to setup for run a single application.

    Holy fuck what a shitshow.

    It took me 2 hours just to get to the desktop. Shit didn’t work, bullshit login screens, ads everywhere.

    It was a massive pile of dog shit.

    After battling to get the system setup for the rest of the day I gave up, chucked Fedora Kinoite On it… Took 30 minutes from creating boot media to getting a desktop going, chucked the app I needed to run in a Flatpack, chucked it on a USB, and it was up and running.

    No bullshit.

    Just works.

    Truly the year of the Linux desktop.
