Yeah, and if you call them out on it you’re getting pillaged by at least a dozen FOSS-bros telling you that anyone who can’t fix this on their own should go back to Mac or Windows, that it’s your fault, your specific distro’s fault or whatever their most favourite excuse for Desktop Linux’ shortcomings are.

I’m just happy both the Gnome Foundation as well as KDE e.V. are working to fix a lot of this with Flatpak (incl. a payment backend), proper unified development toolchains, Human Design Guidelines, etc… now if there was a nice way to more or less bundle a portable Flatpak package with all its dependencies and have it install neatly when executed (have it be opened by Gnome Software / Discovery), that would be awesome (yes I know about that USB-stick feature, no it’s not the same. Yes I know AppImage, no it’s not the same).

Of course there’ll always be those who’d like to stick with 90’s concepts, software and even languages despite all the problems and make sure Linux stays exactly the way it is.
