I've been daily driving linux for years now and here are the things i can think of:
- awful software distribution, especially for proprietary
- corpo tranimals running every project, making it subject to die overnight out of nowhere(just like the devs)
- insane defaults everywhere, often not following any standards at all
- the "customization" that's often advertised is massively exaggerated, instead of having 100 different choices for each part of the system, realistically you get like 2-5 at most with even less being of high quality, which is even debatable
I wonder if those things could be fixed without just sitting down and writing mountains of code alone
Actual problems with linux

yeah i fucking hate linux sometimes, i'm dualbooting win10 and alpine linux and i can't fucking figure out why i need all of these retarded dependencies

>but you also gotta download these "optional" dependencies in order for it to work
>but they won't work anyway if you download it
>you might need to do some config autism but there is no documentation on it since this program has existed for 15 years
>just werks on my machine bro shut the fuck up!!!!
with linux you can either have

this stupid fucking piece of shit alpine linux can't find the WiFi network that I've connected it to before in the past
I can't even do the fucking setup interfaces reboot jank trick because THE FUCKING WIFI INTERFACE SETUP COMMAND NEEDS WIFI IN ORDER TO SET UP A WIFI CONNECTION

The fundamental problem with Linux distros for general desktop usage is the entire core idea of decentralizing software distribution by having several highly centralized distributors instead.

Troons are essential to the OSS ecosystem.
They are kind of like cockroaches in that they're disgusting and everyone hates them but they are helpful at the end of the day.
If trannies didn't shit out their garbageware and stir drama every day we would have stagnation.
This is bad because zoomers(currently young adults) need a constant supply of new things to think about to stay engaged.

No you dumb retard nigger, We get stagnation right now because nothing can progress forward with them in the way
Just look at xorg, Transvestites killed it instead of improving it
And now theyre seething because their hard "work" is being reverted

There have been many before you who tried to fix it.
All of them failed, either rage quit or bent the knee to the troons in hopes of coding their way out of the grim bottomless pit one day.
The task is plainly Sisyphean and you're better off just raping windows xp/7 into being viable because that's actually possible to accomplish.
But it's all pointless... There is no light at the end of the tunnel. One day good desktop experience will require amounts of tinkertrannying so unfathomably large, you will be better off not using a computer at all.

i think the biggest problem with Linux is that developers aren't compensated in any way so they either work for free (cucks) or they resort to being a bunch of LGBTQIA+PEDO+ZOO++ grifters for donations.
imagine if they could actually apply for some kind of benefits from the government if their software is popular.

You can only get benefits from the gov if your software is useful to them, and I don't think they'll be needing new GUI's any time soon

Open source developers should stop catering to memes and schizos and have telemetry in their programs so they don't essentially work blind on a project.
99% of people don't care that someone else knows that they run $SOFTWARE_VERSION on $DISTRO with $SOFTWARE_SETTINGS or a stack trace after a crash.
Ideally there would be a universal telemetry protocol made that streamlines the whole process. The client gathers all the telemetry data from the programs and sends it all out when the computer is idle or in light use, so that nobody has to deal with performance issues because of it. This way anyone would be able to host a universal telemetry server for anyone to use, I imagine the Linux Foundation and a bunch of individuals would be willing to provide the developers with free hosting.
Of course you can still be a heckin' privacymaxxing hackerman and disable it.

linux users need to stop hating on proprietary so much i think...
It may have been a problem a long time ago but with the amount of libre tools, docs and knowledge that allow you to create any software you want it's no more. These days if the standard proprietary program is flawed you can just make an alternative one.
Also, malicious instructions hiding in the binaries are not a problem since sandboxxing exists - which should be the default everywhere by the way, and the fact that most open source software is not thoroughly verified whether its malicious unless it's security critical or under suspicion

You should definitely take a look at all of the open source Discord clones that people have tried to make solely because they're just too afraid of going back to using IRC, Mumble, and XMPP clients (Discord eats more memory than all 3 of the top clients altogether!)

>awful software distribution, especially for proprietary
The majority, if not the entirety of modern Linux relies on the Internet to work.
Modern Linux distros aren't casually giving/selling software repositories in offline DVD/USBs anymore. It's up to the user now if they want an offline Linux..
Everything is reliant on the repositories. If they cannot be access for ANY reason, you're fucked if you need to do anything in relation to packages.
Portable software on Linux also has its own problems. While on Windows we can just shove .exes into a folder of our choice and run a minimalist Windows with maybe a USB containing our toolkit, this is an extremely difficult practice to pull off on Linux, especially if you:
Use a distro that is not mainstream
Want to use software that might be slightly newer or older than your distro
Want prioritize minimal use of system resources
idk bro
