Engagement bait accounts be like:

"What's stopping you from using Linux?"

And posting the stupidest picture like this making them look like hackerman or some stupid crap.

Oh yeah, good one!

@gamingonlinux "What's stopping you from using Linux" posted by people who meticulously researched every piece of hardware in their desktop to ensure it had top tier support within the Linux ecosystem. A task most people could not do.

@gamingonlinux There's so many Linux takes that go like "This just KILLED Desktop Linux" and then it's something about a change to systemd or whatever.
Then non-Linux users who see that from the sidelines also think they have to understand these under-the-hood things to figure out how to use the OS.

I mostly care about my PC booting up, running the things I want to run, and not crashing. I've installed POP OS about 2 yrs ago and only tinkered slightly with the Desktop Environment. That's all.

@gamingonlinux I mean looks cool, but for everyday user all those informations are absolutely irrelevant 😅

And sadly communicates that Linux is only for people with a taste of text only applications.

@gamingonlinux but why two different top programs? this does not make any sense

@gamingonlinux my Linux desktop pretty much looks like what my Windows desktop looks like.

Standard WIMP interface with menu at bottom. Pinned items for Chrome, Discord, Spotify, VSCode and a terminal.

KDE Neon is sooo user friendly! I don't even think of running Linux anymore, I just use my computer.

@gamingonlinux what color scheme is that? Looks so good

@gamingonlinux The Plasma system monitor shows much of the same information, except Plasma system monitor runs in a desktop window.

On a more serious note, I suspect the lack of "industry standard" software like Adobe Photoshop is one huge obstacle to Linux adoption.

@gamingonlinux EeePC running Alma on Docker on Manjaro

A terminal with two shells side by side, on the left: Almalinux running via Docker, on the right the host OS: Manjaro on EeePC 1005 from 2010

@gamingonlinux Is that a photo or a screenshot? Because if it's a photo then I'd say "lack of a screenshot utility" would keep ppl off linux :D

@gamingonlinux I came here for the comments and to know what TUI that is so I can use it too. Has a lot of useful data.

It's-a me Shaw

@gamingonlinux well it does also look fricking cool. So much visual information in a terminal window? Yes please. Windows got nothing on that
