In the past couple years, it’s improved radically since the “last 25 years” of that 35 year mark.

Chicken and egg. Also, do we need fancier launch animations? This eats into memory and performance. I already disable animations in Windows for this reason.

Linux still needs a lot of UX cleanup. Everyone has different ideas of how to make a desktop work and none of them are compatible with eachother.

Dependency hell is still a problem for some mainstream distros, especially since there are literally a half dozen package formats in use.

Arch is only easy if you actually know how linux works - if you’re a mundy, you will be lost trying to get and keep an Arch system running.

Don’t overestimate the tech abilities of the mundy pc user. The simple act of balena etching a usb stick may as well be brain surgery for most people, and they will have to do more complex fixes to keep their stuff running in Linux.

Make a proper accounting software replacement to Quickbooks that doesn’t require a linux degree to operate.

Integrate VR support apps into the distro pipeline. This is still so broken even the tech savvy may find it’s a roll of the die if it works.

Fix the tables in Libreoffice - converting Word documents is a nightmare if table formatting is involved.

Waydroid needs to integrate better as an app, and not just be a screen hogging full screen app. Also, brain surgery just to get Waydroid setup, and on an ancient version of Android at that (11).

Fix the thing with XFCE where it shows the desktop screen before locking it after waking up from sleep. Ths is several seconds of laptop security compromising peekaboo and it is a surprise it still isn’t fixed yet!

The Archiving app in LXqt and KDE I think as well has inverted option “preserve folder path when extracting” which should extract folders and subfolders in the archive when checked but nope, it dumps all the files without any folders wherever you extract it, which breaks a lot of things.

And so on…

and so on…

I believe this is a cliff, sir.

Maybe it was those pesky 7.62mm birds

Maybe they’re all deep diving in the newly extended iceberg that is Warframe lore

So the taxi duty Teslas with 1,000,000+ miles don’t count?

DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAA

I once setup MikroTik routers… they were cool, but the ipv6 implementation required manual intervention - this is not something you want with an isp that dynamically rotates their ipv6 addresses often. Once I discovered pfSense/OPNSense, it was so much better in configurability and ease of upgrade, as those OSses are FreeBSD-based and designed to run on PCs.

This, right here, has been my experience every time.

Also when you run a complicated setup with over a dozen VLANs, policy routing for failover internet on specific vlans, and nat66 support due to secondary internet only giving you a /64, yeah… not fun having to set all that up because the updater breaks, yeah… no.

Warframe. Focus on the Main Quest. That is all.

Every single time I’ve setup OpenWRT, keeping it updated was much more painful than anything else, even ASUS WRT-Merlin was easier to keep updated.

I use Unifi Access Points for wifi

OpenWRT is cool, but I prefer OPNSense because unlike OpenWRT, you can actually upgrade OPNSense in its UI without requiring linux partition surgery.

Remember kids, whatever Linux Distro you installed, it’s the wrong one…

THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

TVR Speed 12. Any game it’s in. Impossible to drive, but when you sort out the handling setup, it is almost unstoppable.

Works fine now that they fixed the problem, but that was an oops for sure.
