Why does Linux still suck so bad in 2025?!!
Let me start with desktop environments. KDE Plasma what a joke, full of constant bugs and you have to have a degree in computer science to find anything in the settings. Gnome not any better, you need to use extensions to add basic functionality that Windows has out of the box, Cinnamon and LXQT look likey the came from before 2010. Now come the worst ones, LXDE, Xfce and Mate they look like they are from the time when Richard Stallman had just graduated from college. Software stores are crap, most of the time they break and when you ask on a forum like linux.org of how to fix your system they tell you to open a terminal and run some random command. Like what age are we living in the 90's, terminal's shouldn't be needed anymore there should be good working GUI's for everything!
Tiling window managers? Are you joking?! Having to manually configure everything and playing around with windows like we are solving a Rubik's Cube. Are we here to work or to solve puzzles while using our computer? They generally look like trash and you need to be an expert in css and some programming language to configure them or else you will be called a noob when using one that you configure in a regular text file.
Packaging and package managers on Linux are a disaster. rpm, apt, pacman, zypper, portage, nix. Why the need for so many, all distributions should just pick one that way there is more standardization between distributions Also security on Linux what a joke, no desktop application containerization package managers the packages are installed by root, what happens if the source gets compromized and you run an infected package as root on your system. Apparmor pretty much useless on other distributions because the profiles only get written for Ubuntu. Don't get me started on selinux, you call that security having the NSA spy on your system since we all know there is a backdoor in selinux.
We we get to some form of desktop application containerization. Snaps, are a seucrity risk because of the Snapstore and had already had snaps there were infected. Flatpaks are trash and install libraries dependencies double for each Flatpak application and on top of that also not to mention what is already installed on your system by native packaging. Appimages? Shut the frontdoor, these are a laughing joke most of them don't automatically update and they don't even integrate correctly with your desktop environment so you have to manually create shortcuts for them so that you can use them as shortcut or find some abscure program that one person manages for it to be done automatically.
Gaming on Linux? Is utter trash, your depending on the Steam client, Lutris or HGL. Some games work others don't and when you want to play your favorite fps shooter or competative game you can't because of Kernel Anti-cheat not working on Linux. You need to look up launch options on ProtonDB or use random install scripts from Lutris. Now you are stuck to opensource games, they are worse that dos games from back in the 90's! Oh wait you can write your own game on Linux because everyone is a super nerde code hacker
Linux and opensource software are amateur pieces of garbage compure to propietary software which good looking and well thought out GUI's. GIMP as alternative for Photoshop, stop don't make me laugh you might make me defecate myself, the Photoshop subscriptions are well worth it compared to how much time you lose with GIMP. Libreoffice, it looks like Word Perfect and and notepad had a child together, although even notepad looks better than something like nano, vim and emacs which the latter one you need to memorize a manual for. Speaking of opensource software, it seems like all applications do their own theming and don't use the system theming.
Windows and MacOS are better. They collect telemetry for good reason, so they know how to improve your user experience. They won't abuse your data and sell it to the highest bidder, but they have honest intentions. They can then use that same data to monitor the security of your system, so they can notifiy you if something out of the ordinary is happening on your system. That's what I call real security, as for what else you get. You get life and mental security as for when you do too many searches on something that could harm you or someone else, then they can just notify a medical professional to save your life or that other person's life. I call that way better security than any form of security Linux could every give.
Long story short. Linux and opensource software still sucks in 2025. Just give it and move to a real os like Windows or MacOS. You have a real well thought out user interface and you get applications that are actaully done well and you get customer support with the software you pay or the subscriptions for the software you have. No need to deal with support questions on forums like these. Lastly you can just use the Windows software store to install most of your applications and won't need to worry about not being able to install games launcher because it not being supported by something else. And most importantly kernel level anti-cheat works so you can play all of your favorite fps shooters and competative games and race simulators. Meaning you get even more security by those anti-cheat companies tracking the security on your system since they can also see everything that happens on your pc.
If I haven't convinced you to switched to Windows or MacOS you are a lost cause and instead of using Linux(or BSD) you just be a real nerd not some fake nerd who uses an operating system written by someone else. Instead go be a real nerd like Terry Davis and write your own operating system since you think you can write something better than Windows or MacOS.
P.S Even TempleOS is better than that garbage piece of software that all of you use in different variants and call GNU/Linux. I rest my case, see you on the otherside in Windows or MacOS or I will use a ouji board to summon Terry Davis and ask him to haunt you into learning HolyC so you can write your own os which is the only thing better than using GNU/Linux.
