We as open-source devs need to make sure that a tool we make is usable by people ranging from complete beginners to absolute masters. Let's be honest, when we started we also needed a helping hand, if we didn't we wouldn't be as good as we are.

I feel like you're just salty watching LTT, well that's the whole point LTT has been making.

Telling people "Linux is Not for You" is like telling then "On you're not smart enough to handle it". No, it doesn't have to be that way.

Not all of Linux experiences need to be a bumpy road, not all distros need to feel smooth.

Okay. So, you think Linux is for everyone?

Currently it's not. Cause Foss software has no proper revenue model for small developers. They devote their time to the tool and we can't ask more from them.

But I feel with time Foss tools will reach the standards. It will take time and effort.

Linux experience is improving thanks to foss. It's slow, but it will get there.
