    whats “linux desktop”?

    • plasma certainly has better ux/ui than windows
    • gnome definitely does too
    • cinnamon may be debatable
    • tiling window managers are in my view unrivaled in ux compared to anything else
    • gtk3 and qt also offer extensive theming on posix compliant systems
    • proper terminal centric design is also very important to me, making windows as a whole an unbearable user experience

      dude i use i3 and arch as a daily driver. for work too. and i LOVE it even if it can get a little janky.

      but you cannot with a straight face tell me a user new to linux will find it comfortable to use. let alone people used to other tools like graphic designers (try telling THEM to switch to gimp and inkscape, or even worse to try to use the adobe suite with wine, and see the response you get)

      we linux weenies can make our desktop and tools comfortable for us. the average person will ask you where chrome is and give up after you try explaining to them what a flatpak is for the third time.
