I’m curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.
What’s crazy to me is that Linux was out way in front of this. Put me in front of windows back in the aughts and say ‘go install a program’ and you had to google it, hope you clicked the right download link, install it, hope you didn’t get a virus. Ubuntu you just opened up synaptic and bam, there was a wealth of programs you could just install with a single click. It was mind-blowing, and way easier than what everyone else offered.
It’s the typical opensource problem. The advantage of FOSS is that anyone who wants to can create a fork. The problem is that everyone does.
There are dozens of rivaling systems that do the exact same thing a slightly different way with a completely different user experience.
