…and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I’m mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!

    You guys are living in a bubble.

    I keep trying and trying. The UX isn’t great.

    Pinch to zoom is non-existent. Scrolling on a trackpad , the systememulates a mouse and isn’t smooth when you scroll. Scrolling in browsers vs in file systems is totally a different experience.

    Forget about scrolling in the browser using the touch screen. It emulates a left mouse click hold. No, that is not what is expected when I’m browsing a web page and put my finger on the screen. I expect it to respond like how my phone browser responds. Never once have I ever needed to left mouse hold when I swipe a browser screen.

    The list goes on. From a convoluted navigation in the menu and a need to install apps using terminal.

    I keep trying and trying. But if you can’t convince a tech forward person like myself, how will you convince a normie?

    I haven’t tried all the distros. But I shouldn’t have too. These UX systems should be standard across all distros.

      There is some laptop hardware that isnt well supported, it is annoying but it is what it is people are writing drivers for a lot of stuff but it doesnt compare to having manufacturers actually support their hardware.

      As for convoluted menu and installing apps via terminal thats user error. Linux is for those that are willing to learn and if people cant use an app store and get frustrated when they see a different menu they’re beyond reach.
