Vyram Kraven on Nostr: This is true but you can't convert people when you tell them you need to configure it ...
This is true but you can't convert people when you tell them you need to configure it all yourself. For example windows comes with a touchscreen keyboard for 2 in one laptops, tablets or touchscreen all in ones. Linux does not have no touchscreen keyboard it has the old ass on display accessibility onboard which is a horrible alternative to the touchscreen keyboard. All these Linux distros out there made for security yadayada cool but what about a modern touchscreen keyboard? Oh no Linux Dev did that but yes there's probably a github repo some indie guy made it I could download & run some terminal commands. But who wants to do that when a Linux distro should have a modern touchscreen keyboard out of the box?
It's small things like that which stop people from switching. Do you know how many Linux forums I mentioned this on most of the people respond to that. Well I don't use a touchscreen I use a desktop.
I thought this was like a joke at first but then I was getting the similar answers like that on the Linux mint forums, manjaro, fedora, arch forums & matrix chat. It really shocked me the response of how many Linux users apparently only have desktops or old laptops that don't have a touchscreen.
Bottom line you can't really sell the benefits of Linux to a non Linux person when you tell them well you have to configure it yourself then the basic essentials are not even in the os like a touchscreen keyboard. People will try for 20 minutes then go I'm having issues with doing basic shit fuck this I'm going back to windows
