I believe desktop Linux suffers from what I would call overabstraction: giving users option to customize even where having a single robust choice is more preferable for everyone involved.
It's like FOSS developers worship abstraction for the sake of abstraction, without carefully considering if it's improving situation of the system or making it worse...

you mean underabstraction

That's why distros exist

That's pretty much the design philosophy of GNOME.

lmao

The problem is that then you would be forced to shit like gnome. If gnome was the only DE I would never use loonix.

>>106565651
The overabstraction is real, but somehow modern GNOME is not customizable.
GNOME 2 or Unity with Compiz was customizable and was less complex at the same time.

>>106567654
This, I wouldn't either. GNOME is trash. If it was XFCE I would be fine with it even though I prefer window managers. XFCE would be a compromise.

It doesn't "suffer" from it, it is the entire point of it. If you are capable of even conceiving of the concept of "too much choice", then please stay on window, where there is one choice and it's dogshit.

Linux is less customizable than Windows
i can't even replace the file picker with a non-shitty one
i also can't disable "paste text on middle mouse click" (i use it to auto-scroll in the browser) because it's hard-coded and built-in
>>
>>106565651
do you use gnome
>>
>>106569174
You can replace the file picker it's just a skin issue sar and paste text on middle click is an xorg thing i believe, could be different on gayland

my friend, there is here a very large difference between "cannot be changed" and "i can't", and the difference lies in your person. I do recommend in these cases windows, or in fact macos. Not because they are easier to use or configure, but rather to ensure that the infection does not spread.

how shocking and unexpected

why havent you killed yourself yet loser?
do something useful for your mom and fertilize her compost pile
everyone wishes you were dead, especially your mom
how embarrassing it must be for her to have to explain to her friends all the time that her son is still a fat incel NEET loser eating all her food and taking up room stinking up her house being a smelly NEET incel that spends every waking minute of his incel life "owning loonix"
there is no bigger no-life loser on this entire shithole of a site than you, and that's saying a lot
just end your worthless life already, the world will be a better place without you
