The Linux user experience we have? It's not the one we deserve.

I wanted to take a moment and talk about Linux UX because, let’s face it… it sucks.

Actually, it’s worse than that. Much of Linux’s UX is technically correct and that makes it objectively wrong.

No. I don’t want Linux to be more Windows-like. But I do want the most common Linux desktops to behave in a way that PC-literate folks can wrap their mind around — and do so from minute zero.

    Nah, that’s not what I mean. I’m not opposed to those things, I guess I just think that things should get the time and attention based on how important they are. I agree that these things would be nice, but I don’t think the developers are deliberately keeping these things the way they are out of a sense of honor and tradition; rather I’ve just figured they always have something that’s more pressing to focus on.
