2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

Why do so many Linux users not understand the meaning of user-friendly?

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

They both do things that are more user-friendly than the other. The fact you think it isn't user-friendly is really showing who doesn't understand the term. I listed a few things Linux handles better than Windows, and there are many more. Windows fails at many steps, but people accept they understand Windows and deal with it. Windows also doesn't have any options for customization, so it's the same bad for everyone, which does help people solve issues, though they maybe shouldn't have had them in the first place.

Linux is more friendly. It requires a certain level of competence that Windows doesn't, but if you're above that level it's generally better.

Because anyone who has used Linux thinks user friendly means things just work and settings are in the same place as last time

Linux users tend to be more GUI-oriented than Windows users as well
