Linux has made significant strides, and in 2023, it’s better than ever. However, there are still individuals perpetuating a delusion: that desktop Linux is as user-friendly and productive as its mainstream counterparts. After a few discussions on Lemmy, I believe it’s important to provide a clear review of where Linux falls short as a daily driver for average users.

EDIT: can I just make it clear I don't agree with this article one bit and think it's an unhinged polemic?

Like I can't remember the last time I actually needed an FTP client, but FileZilla was fine on Linux a decade ago, I can't imagine it's got worse

I'm just connecting to FTP directly from Nautilus, it's so user friendly it feels like I'm cheating.

Same with Nemo

Same with Dolphin. It can even remember credentials in a safe manner in KWallet.
