Another condescending Linux article

Firefox is actually the only browser which does it pretty well. What I meant was electron applications. Like discord or Teams. They're basically a web app running in a chromium browser. That's why they're rather resource intensive. It's pretty bad tbh... Wayland does improve that, but screen sharing does not yet work with those same applications. That's because wayland uses pipewire and not XSHM/Xcomposite, which were the protocols for screen/window capturing on X11.

Ah, I see. Never knew. Well, thankfully, I take neither of those applications for granted; because I rarely use them. I'll keep Teams in a browser like Firefox where it belongs. Because I don't want any kind of MS app installed directly on my system. And Discord? Well, I only have a couple of people that I talk to once in a blue moon. So the application works good enough for that.

So i was browsing my google news feed and saw this article that describes how Linux isn't for everyone.

 

 

https://dev.to/developerbishwas/linux-probably-isnt-for-you-388d

 

 

Can't help but feel this was targeted at a specific individual or entity.

 

I started daily driving linux 6 years ago. If i had come across this as a newbie I probably wouldn't have started using it and probably wouldn't have a Linux admin and DevOps role I have now.

 

This is such crap. I mean it is probably written by someone who tried to play a game on ubuntu, failed and then decided to crib on dev.to. dev.to used to be a place where you would swap news about cool projects, but now has just become 10 reasons why not to use <insert technology> in <year>

Again, it's someone who wants Linux to be exactly like Windows. That's the gist I got from that.

I see this far too often... Heck, even part of Linus' video (Where he was talking about file extensions) reeked of that problem.

To those people I'm like, "Sorry. But no OS is the same as the other."
