    Or how about

    1. You can’t easily define what apps start with startup
    2. Even when wine is installed , lot of programs won’t run in wine
    3. You cannot easily find where the program is installed like you can in windows
    4. You attach a external disk but some apps won’t see it mounted making it Impossible to explore in their file picker , not all but some
    5. There is almost huge lack of programs , for which there is huge possibility that a windows program exists.
    6. There is constant need to use terminal for lot of things for which you can’t a program see point 4.

    I keep telling Linux is still not for common home use for users who are in between power users and people only using it for browsing. This will get me downvotes here on Lemmy all the time . Linux edge lords are their own bubble.

      All but one of your points here appear to be your lack of understanding Linux and/or user error. Point 4 (2) is understandable due to Windows just being the default and most popular choice.

        And that’s exactly the fucking point. It’s a terrible idea to tell people to switch. Cause they don’t understand it.

      1. You can’t easily define what apps start with startup

      For point 2, that is true and improving. Always do some research about program compatibility before completely changing your computer’s OS.

      For point 3. Programs are generally installed in /usr/bin and ~/.var/app for Flatpaks (analogous to MS Store). Much easier than finding where MS store apps are installed.

      Never come across point 4, so I can’t dismiss it.

      1. As with 2, depends on your usecase

      2. GNOME Disk manager (comes with Fedora and Ubuntu) has options to mount drives to arbitrary locations if needed.

      I understand your argument but making points like these don’t really contribute to the discussion.
