this warrants a TON of upvotes, are y’all for real? THIS is what it looks like to the potential converts and I deal with them daily.
the single, giganticest, most glaring issue in every distro and DE is the complete absence of sane defaults as this dude demonstrates, his comedic chops and edge-case issues aside.
converts nowadays come from the hyper-polished world of Android and iOS devices, where you turn it on and it works. the idea that the average user needs complex setup and training and is faced with these cryptic sysadm-intended-for error messages delegates it to the narrow userbase it has, and it can be so much better.
Like, what distros? All the majors I’ve used in the last 5 years have pretty sane defaults. Except Arch, of course, because the packagers just put in what the devs send.
all the people say “oh you don’t need to use the terminal! You can just use GUIS!”
like literally look at the search results for “how to run .sh linux” they’re ALL terminal based
