chocosoldier

or, as i like to call it, gnu plus linux

that's not special

basically everything beyond launching itunes/safari/whatever is tucked away in weird non-obvious places. i literally had to have someone show me how to get the list of all apps (it's called something absolutely baffling that i've since forgotten) after clicking on and combing through things for like half an hour. the longest it's taken me to suss out the same, to get a list of applications, on literally any other OS has been seconds, maybe a minute at longest.

so yeah, my example is the single most basic thing a user should be able to do in order to use the computer, is so unintuitive on mac that a grown ass adult who is a chronic distro-hopper needed help figuring it out. and god forbid you want to change a setting beyond the wifi, screen brightness, and audio volume.

versatile

sure. idk about "the most", i haven't seen it do anything that other DMs can't do with some tinkering. hell just installing cairo-dock yields a very similar ui experience imo.

usable

i can't agree, my experience is things not staying where i put them, random crashes, layout and themes not "sticking" between logins, and occasionally the entire session crashing - all this from a fresh install on an untinkered-with system, and it's been a consistent experience through the years. maybe you're luckier than i am?

best applications

i never met an application i wanted to run that i couldn't because i had the wrong DE. what are you talking about?

i'm only picking at you because you're being an ass

and yet it drives you mad to no end that someone doesn't like your favorite DE and "idk bro it works fine for me skill issue git gud son" doesn't change their mind. please continue entertaining me for free thusly.

actually, why would you expect someone to change their opinion based on how a bunch of nerds talk down to them for speaking their experience?

integrated intel graphics, actually. some people are poor you know. though back in the day when i had a 390 it failed to impress then as well. what a weird association to make.

i think it's funny how bent out of shape everyone's getting over a meme and you sound salty af to me but go off

nice assumption. i'm a brokeass who typically runs hand-me-down hardware, stable all day.

also that copyright license is hilarious, you know it's the neckbeard equivalent of posting "i do not consent to my data being collected" as your fb status right? or are you going to take a giant company to court for copying your nerd insult from lemmy?

ok boomer

this has to be a joke, i just tinkered with it for a couple weeks to check in and most of the extensions i tried either just broke things or didn't work at all.

i take pride in my jank, and am up front about the generally poor quality of my user experience.
