    He is a time poor impatient person. That is something linux will need to address for wider adoption.

    I would argue that their example resulted in some very wide ranging changes in approach that was long overdue.

    Linux was at risk of becoming an “OS for us” instead of a true replacement for everyone.

    I suspect if they repeat the challange today, it would be a night and day difference.

      Yeah exactly, same reason I stepped off of linux. I don’t have the time to fix shit and it works with minimal effort is something I need.

      I will switch as soom as it there and I am glad that people are willing to pay the time tax for now so that we have good adoption in the future. It just isn’t for me and I think Linus is the same.

        Bazzite was the breakthrough for me. All my stuff just worked. Only 2 things I had to fix was

        1.adding 5.1 audio over Spdif, which was a single ostree command to make it permanent.

        1. Installing Proton-GE for one of my games that does not do well under normal proton.

        Took about an hour to research and fix both.

        I had tried to covert 4 times in the 5 years before. Ubuntu, linux mint and endevourOS would not play well with my hardware in years past.
