All but one of your points here appear to be your lack of understanding Linux and/or user error. Point 4 (2) is understandable due to Windows just being the default and most popular choice.

Even point 4 is something I have never experienced, and is probably also lack of understanding.

A filesystem is either mounted or it isn't. Mounted for one program but not for another doesn't exist. If they don't see it in the filepicker, they probably just don't know the mount point.

Point 4 is listed twice in the comment. So I used "4 (2)" to point out what I was responding to. The second point 4.

And that’s exactly the fucking point. It’s a terrible idea to tell people to switch. Cause they don’t understand it.

[-] icedterminal@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That's not a very strong argument.

When you started a job, did you understand it all? When you first started using Windows, Android or iOS, did you understand it all? No you didn't. As with anything you've never used or done before, you won't understand the ins and outs or know what to do in many situations. You learn about them. I certainly didn't know much about Linux when I started using it. In an IT environment, I had to learn. I work with Windows and Linux on a daily basis. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I use both on my personal devices.

No. But starting a job pays me. Changing OS over a minor feature is a completely insane waste of my time. You are aware of the context of this post right??

You wanna know what my job pays me to do? Create and edit Visual Studio solutions. Checkmate atheists.
