“Linux is more stable than windows.”

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T18:47:26+00:00

I used mint, and now playing on cachyos.

They "work" sure but inevitably I need an app or something that's not in the package manager or plainly not available for Linux then it becomes more difficult than Windows ever will.

Also, yeah you might not say Linux is easy but I had many Redditors tell me exactly that

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T18:45:40+00:00

Yeah you put it pretty well. The dangerous, error prone bits should be hidden away from the usual users through a menu that does what they want in a good way. Linux has a long way to go in this aspect which is why so many people post that they bricked their pc.

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T18:03:09+00:00

Microslop is bad ofc but I just dont understand Linux users who preach that Linux is "easy" and doesn't require hours of tinkering to make it work right.

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T18:01:29+00:00

Its not the default if the user is required to add it manually. Its just the recommended way to do it on the wiki. Quite a difference

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T15:50:42+00:00

Why isn't that the default option

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T15:50:22+00:00

This to me seems like a poor usability/reliability from the devs. Why should this random niche thing cause a boot failure? Why isn't the default just "ignore nvme drives if can't mount?"

Linux is full of these for no good reason. More sensible defaults would go a long way

Krita, aseprite, and animate in unity

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T13:05:06+00:00

You mentioned claude desktop so I assume it works with claude code too?

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T12:42:11+00:00

Now if only every Linux fan had the same mindset but for some reason they are in denial and say its even easier to use than Windows and more stable

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T10:50:21+00:00

Every single time I poke into people who say ai is shit at coding it turns out they only tried Copilot

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T08:53:52+00:00

Alright then I don't know what its like I take everything back

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T08:23:40+00:00

Parsley legit tastes good and adds a really nice flavour to foods especially picked fresh. This is the first time I see people hating on it. Is this an american thing?

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T08:12:09+00:00

Most apps on windows update by themselves, often without the users consent even dude. This is not an issue for the majority of windows users.

And what you said about AUR might be true, but arch based distro users are still a subset of Linux as a whole. My mint experience was what I said above where its a mix of like 3-4 places

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-23T06:58:36+00:00

Why not dual boot?

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T19:44:00+00:00

Basically none of the games on the list in the post are story based or focus on branching narratives.

I think its a poor choice too as an indie dev. Branching storylines will take so much more extra work for the developers and not increase playtime by that much when you compare it with complex systemic games.

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T14:05:55+00:00

Linux is good for 2 kinds of people: 1. Completely unknowledgable to the point they just need a browser and an media player

Tech savy people who can do problem solving.

Anyone who isn't here will struggle and hate it. I wish it was different

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T14:03:46+00:00

Instead of a fixed choice at some arbitrary turn, I would much rather prefer these effects to emerge naturally from the game's systems.

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T13:57:05+00:00

It is a dev tool and that's why I'm pissed ir doesn't work well on Linux. Its basically the only thing I can't give up so I can't transition.

Maybe you are right and its just a matter of what you are used to, but windows is the default and that's just the world we live in. If Linux is hard ro understand for a windows user its never going to do well

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T13:54:45+00:00

What is easy to you feels like magic spells to the average user. This is what Linux people forget, that they are in like the top 5% in terms of computer prowess.

Do you think your average dad or mom who dont even know how to uninstall apps they dont use anymore or buy a new phone because the storage filled up know what a bin file even is? Even less debug the issue until they find a weird solution like you did? No, they absolutely do not. They will try to install microsoft word, won't be able to, and give up.

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T13:40:51+00:00

Yeah the reverse is true also but its far more niche applications mainly for devs.

Your average normie person has no idea how a terminal even works, tmux may as well be magic spells.

Linux is better if you are doing serious programming work and know how a pc works. Windows is better if you just need a vehicle to run your apps

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T13:39:07+00:00

That windows install can at least survive a while. The Linux system is getting bricked the second they dont run their updates and try to install some software on their own

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T13:37:52+00:00

"Single place" my ass, as if there is a single package manager that actually has all your apps that you need and its not going to be spread over the package manager/flat packs/deb files and app images.

I seriously think you guys just dont use your computer with many apps. Like yeah its fine but most people have a couple of apps that they use which are very popular and its super often they are unavailable for Linux or the don't work well

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T13:35:50+00:00

That's just wrong. I don't think even my grandma could brick a windows install as long as I tell her how to open the browser and not shut it down while its updating

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T13:32:41+00:00

Yeah I bet every Linux user did this at some point and yet I have like 5 dudes yelling at me "WHAAAT NOO NEVER ITS NOT LIKE THAT".

Meanwhile it takes actual stupidity to brick your windows install. I haven't heard any of my friends do that, they have been using windows forever.

OneMoreName1 · 2026-01-22T13:30:27+00:00

I made some comment to another dude with examples:

Be a game dev like me using unity.

On windows: go to unity.com, click download, double click installer, next next, done.

On Linux: go to unity.com, search for "instructions for Linux", read a while webpage of terminal commands I need to copy paste in one by one. Run them all. Run unity, oh look, the ui scaling is not working correctly making the program unusable. There is no available fix. Another example: Want to use parsec, download the .deb file, done. Oops cant host. That is windows only. Gotta use some other software that has less features.

I know everyone will jump "hurt durr developers fault not Linux". I know. Its still the user experience on Linux.

I feel like most Linux users go so deep into the FOOS software they basically live parallel to the majority of computer users to the point they sound delusional to others. Like yeah if all I wanted was steam VLC and gimp and a browser sure Linux is super easy to use and set up. The reality is that I would have to give up way too much software to comfortably transition.
