Try a different desktop environment instead of blaming all of Linux, my dude
My dude. What is a desktop environment? Do you automatically assume normies understand what that means?
This is further proof that this meme assumes that Linux wasn't ready for normies 15 years ago but is ready now.
What are models of vehicles? What are different types of skiis? Shouldn't just one book have all of human knowledge? I'm not assuming anything about Normie's or anything, just telling you to try a different DE. Linux comes with options. You might want a sports car or you might want a truck. Before you buy a vehicle you look at what you want to do and then buy the right vehicle.
I guess when I'm expecting to have at least air conditioning instead of having my pick from thousands of different air conditioning systems from GitHub hoping it hasn't been abandonware.
If I'm picking a specific system, I expect the engine to start when I turn the key, instead of a secret jiggle for it to work correctly.
